Bulk Topological Proximity Effect.
Existing proximity effects stem from systems with a local order parameter, such as a local magnetic moment or a local superconducting pairing amplitude. Here, we demonstrate that despite lacking a local order parameter, topological phases also may give rise to a proximity effect of a distinctively inverted nature. We focus on a general construction in which a topological phase is extensively co...
متن کاملEffect of a spin-active interface on proximity-induced superconductivity in topological insulators
We examine the effect of a spin-active interface on the symmetry of proximity-induced superconducting pairing amplitudes in topological insulators. We develop a model to investigate the leading-order contribution to the pairing amplitude considering three different kinds of spin-active interfaces: (i) those that induce spindependent scattering phases, (ii) those that flip the spin of incident e...
متن کاملProximity effect in graphene-topological-insulator heterostructures.
We formulate a continuum model to study the low-energy electronic structure of heterostructures formed by graphene on a strong three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) for the cases of both commensurate and incommensurate stacking. The incommensurability can be due to a twist angle between graphene and the TI surface or a lattice mismatch between the two systems. We find that the proximity ...
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 کاملThe a.c. Josephson effect without superconductivity
Superconductivity derives its most salient features from the coherence of the associated macroscopic wave function. The related physical phenomena have now moved from exotic subjects to fundamental building blocks for quantum circuits such as qubits or single photonic modes. Here we predict that the a.c. Josephson effect-which transforms a d.c. voltage Vb into an oscillating signal cos (2eVbt/ħ...
