Proximity effect in planar Superconductor/Semiconductor junction
We have measured the very low temperature (down to 30mK) subgap resistance of Titanium Nitride (Superconductor, Tc = 4.6K)/highly doped Silicon (Semiconductor) SIN junction (the insulating layer I stands for the Schottky barrier). As the temperature is lowered below the gap, the resistance increases as expected in SIN junction. Around 300mK, the resistance shows a maximum and decreases at lower...
متن کاملUniversal gap fluctuations in the superconductor proximity effect.
Random-matrix theory is used to study the mesoscopic fluctuations of the excitation gap in a metal grain or quantum dot induced by the proximity to a superconductor. We propose that the probability distribution of the gap is a universal function in rescaled units. Our analytical prediction for the gap distribution agrees well with exact diagonalization of a model Hamiltonian.
متن کاملSpin-gap proximity effect mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity
When holes are doped into an antiferromagnetic insulator they form a slowly fluctuating array of ‘‘topological defects’’ ~metallic stripes! in which the motion of the holes exhibits a self-organized quasi-onedimensional electronic character. The accompanying lateral confinement of the intervening Mott-insulating regions induces a spin gap or pseudogap in the environment of the stripes. We prese...
متن کاملShot Noise and Proximity Effect in Superconductor–normal-metal Heterostructures
Current noise provides useful information on correlations important for transport properties of mesoscopic systems. Of particular interest, both experimentally and theoretically, are heterostructures of normal metals and superconductors. We use an extended Keldysh-Green’s function approach to calculate the current correlations fully accounting for the superconducting proximity effect. The shot ...
متن کاملAnomalous proximity effect in mesoscopic normal-metal–superconductor structures
Anomalous corrections to the resistance have been found in mesoscopic normal-metal–superconductor ~NS! structures below TC . They differ from those described by the classical ‘‘proximity’’ theory in sensitivity to magnetic field, temperature, and rf irradiation. Contrary to the case of the classical proximity effect the anomalous corrections can be both positive and negative. A possible model w...
