Induced superconductivity in high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas in gallium arsenide heterostructures

چکیده
Search for Majorana fermions renewed interest in semiconductor-superconductor interfaces, while a quest for higher-order non-Abelian excitations demands formation of superconducting contacts to materials with fractionalized excitations, such as a two-dimensional electron gas in a fractional quantum Hall regime. Here we report induced superconductivity in high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas in gallium arsenide heterostructures and development of highly transparent semiconductor-superconductor ohmic contacts. Supercurrent with characteristic temperature dependence of a ballistic junction has been observed across 0.6 μm, a regime previously achieved only in point contacts but essential to the formation of well separated non-Abelian states. High critical fields (>16 T) in NbN contacts enables investigation of an interplay between superconductivity and strongly correlated states in a two-dimensional electron gas at high magnetic fields.

Two-dimensional electron-gas actuation and transduction for GaAs nanoelectromechanical systems
We have fabricated doubly clamped beams from GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-well heterostructures containing a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas ~2DEG!. Applying an rf drive to in-plane side gates excites the beam’s mechanical resonance through a dipole–dipole mechanism. Sensitive high-frequency displacement transduction is achieved by measuring the ac emf developed across the 2DEG in the presenc...

We determine the density-dependent electron mass m(*) in two-dimensional electron systems of GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures by performing detailed low-temperature Shubnikov-de Haas measurements. Using very high-quality transistors with tunable electron densities we measure m(*) in single, high mobility specimens over a wide range of r(s) (6 to 0.8). Toward low densities we observe a rapid increas...

Conventional high electron mobility transistors (HFETs) based on AlGaN/GaN heterostructures have been accurately modeled and the results are described in this paper. The Schroedinger's equation and the Poisson's equation have been solved self-consistently in order to obtain a relationship between the sheet carrier density and the applied gate voltage. The relationship is treated using a non-lin...
