One Dimensional Topological Nanomaterials and Superconductivity (Final Technical Report)
- Yale Univ., New Haven, CT (United States)
The project synthesized and made transport properties of topological crystalline insulator tin telluride (SnTe) nanowires and other topological materials, such as MoTe2 and WTe2. The transport properties of the nanowires were correlated with the diameter of the nanowire, in terms of the ferroelectric phase transition temperature, magnetoresistance response, and Josephson junction behaviors as a function of the nanowire diameter. The most important observation was the proximity-induced superconductivity in SnTe nanowires, which suggests time reversal symmetry breaking.
