Proximity-effect-induced Superconducting Gap in Topological Surface States – A Point Contact Spectroscopy Study of NbSe₂/Bi₂Se₃ Superconductor-Topological Insulator Heterostructures

Journal Article Dai, Wenqing ; Richardella, Anthony ; Du, Renzhong ; ... - Scientific Reports

Proximity-effect-induced superconductivity was studied in epitaxial topological insulator Bi₂Se₃ thin films grown on superconducting NbSe₂ single crystals. A point contact spectroscopy (PCS) method was used at low temperatures down to 40 mK. An induced superconducting gap in Bi₂Se₃ was observed in the spectra, which decreased with increasing Bi₂Se₃ layer thickness, consistent with the proximity effect in the bulk states of Bi₂Se₃ induced by NbSe₂. At very low temperatures, an extra point contact feature which may correspond to a second energy gap appeared in the spectrum. For a 16 quintuple layer Bi₂Se₃ on NbSe₂ sample, the bulk state gap value nearmore »« less

Topological insulators, topological superconductors and Weyl fermion semimetals: discoveries, perspectives and outlooks

Journal Article Hasan, M. Zahid ; Xu, Su -Yang ; Bian, Guang - Physica Scripta

Here, unlike string theory, topological physics in lower dimensional condensed matter systems is an experimental reality since the bulk-boundary correspondence can be probed experimentally in lower dimensions. In addition, recent experimental discoveries of non-quantum-Hall-like topological insulators, topological superconductors, Weyl semimetals and other topological states of matter also signal a clear departure from the quantum-Hall-effect-like transport paradigm that has dominated the field since the 1980s. It is these new forms of matter that enabled realizations of topological-Dirac, Weyl cones, helical-Cooper-pairs, Fermi-arc-quasiparticles and other emergent phenomena in fine-tuned photoemission (ARPES) experiments since ARPES experiments directly allow the study of bulk-boundary (topological) correspondence.more »« less

Bosonic topological insulator intermediate state in the superconductor-insulator transition

Journal Article Diamantini, M. C. ; Mironov, A. Yu. ; Postolova, S. M. ; ... - Physics Letters. A

A low-temperature intervening metallic regime arising in the two-dimensional superconductor-insulator transition challenges our understanding of electronic fluids. Here we develop a gauge theory revealing that this emergent anomalous metal is a bosonic topological insulator where bulk transport is suppressed by mutual statistics interactions between out-of-condensate Cooper pairs and vortices and the longitudinal conductivity is mediated by symmetry-protected gapless edge modes. We explore the magnetic-field-driven superconductor-insulator transition in a niobium titanium nitride device and find marked signatures of a bosonic topological insulator behavior of the intervening regime with the saturating resistance. The observed superconductor-anomalous metal and insulator-anomalous metal dual phase transitionsmore »« less

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

Highly skewed current–phase relation in superconductor–topological insulator–superconductor Josephson junctions

Journal Article Kayyalha, Morteza ; Kazakov, Aleksandr ; Miotkowski, Ireneusz ; ... - npj Quantum Materials

Three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) in proximity with superconductors are expected to exhibit exotic phenomena, such as topological superconductivity (TSC) and Majorana-bound states (MBS), which may have applications in topological quantum computation. In superconductor–TI–superconductor Josephson junctions, the supercurrent versus the phase difference between the superconductors, referred to as the current–phase relation (CPR), reveals important information including the nature of the superconducting transport. Here, we study the induced superconductivity in gate-tunable Josephson junctions (JJs) made from topological insulator BiSbTeSe₂with superconducting Nb electrodes. We observe highly skewed (non-sinusoidal) CPR in these junctions. The critical current, or the magnitude of the CPR, increases withmore »« less
