Gate-tunable supercurrent and multiple Andreev reflections in a superconductor-topological insulator nanoribbon-superconductor hybrid device

Journal Article Jauregui, Luis A. ; Kayyalha, Morteza ; Kazakov, Aleksandr ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report on the observation of gate-tunable proximity-induced superconductivity and multiple Andreev reflections (MARs) in a bulk-insulating BiSbTeSe₂ topological insulator nanoribbon (TINR) Josephson junction with superconducting Nb contacts. We observe a gate-tunable critical current (I_C) for gate voltages (V_g) above the charge neutrality point (V_CNP), with I_C as large as 430 nA. We also observe MAR peaks in the differential conductance (dI/dV) versus DC voltage (V_dc) across the junction corresponding to sub-harmonic peaks (at V_dc = V_n = 2Δ_Nb/en, where ΔNb is the superconducting gap of the Nb contacts and n is the sub-harmonic order). The sub-harmonic order, n, exhibitsmore »« less

Influence of topological edge states on the properties of Al/Bi₂Se₃/ Al hybrid Josephson devices

Journal Article Galletti, L. ; Charpentier, S. ; Iavarone, Maria ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

In superconductor-topological insulator-superconductor hybrid junctions, the barrier edge states are expected to be protected against backscattering, to generate unconventional proximity effects, and, possibly, to signal the presence of Majorana fermions. The standards of proximity modes for these types of structures have to be settled for a neat identification of possible new entities. Through a systematic and complete set of measurements of the Josephson properties we find evidence of ballistic transport in coplanar Al-Bi₂Se₃-Al junctions that we attribute to a coherent transport through the topological edge state. The shunting effect of the bulk only influences the normal transport. This behavior, whichmore »« less

Tunneling in graphene–topological insulator hybrid devices

Journal Article Steinberg, H. ; Orona, L. A. ; Fatemi, V. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Hybrid graphene–topological insulator (TI) devices were fabricated using a mechanical transfer method and studied via electronic transport. Devices consisting of bilayer graphene (BLG) under the TI Bi₂Se₃ exhibit differential conductance characteristics which appear to be dominated by tunneling, roughly reproducing the Bi₂Se₃ density of states. Similar results were obtained for BLG on top of Bi₂Se₃, with tenfold greater conductance consistent with a larger contact area due to better surface conformity. The devices further show evidence of inelastic phonon-assisted tunneling processes involving both Bi₂Se₃ and graphene phonons. These processes favor phonons which compensate for momentum mismatch between the TI Γ andmore »« less
