Effect 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 کاملOne-dimensional helical transport in topological insulator nanowire interferometers.
The discovery of three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators opens a gateway to generate unusual phases and particles made of the helical surface electrons, proposing new applications using unusual spin nature. Demonstration of the helical electron transport is a crucial step to both physics and device applications of topological insulators. Topological insulator nanowires, of which spin-text...
متن کاملProximity-induced superconductivity in DNA.
Conductivity measurements on double-stranded DNA molecules deposited by a combing process across a submicron slit between rhenium/carbon metallic contacts reveal conduction to be ohmic between room temperature and 1 kelvin. The resistance per molecule is less than 100 kilohm and varies weakly with temperature. Below the superconducting transition temperature (1 kelvin) of the contacts, proximit...
متن کاملTopological surface transport properties of single-crystalline SnTe nanowire.
SnTe has attracted worldwide interest since its theoretical predication as topological crystalline insulator. Because of promising applications of one-dimensional topological insulator in nanoscale electronics and spintronics device, it is very important to realize the observation of topological surface states in one-dimensional SnTe. In this work, for the first time we successfully synthesized...
متن کاملTopological Mechanism of Superconductivity
We outline the basic ideas of the topologigical mechanisms of su-perconductivity. A gauged model of correlated electronic system where a topological fluid is formed as a result of a strong interaction is discussed .
