Kondo Universal Scaling for a Quantum Dot Coupled to Superconducting Leads

Abstract

We study competition between the Kondo effect and superconductivity in a single self-assembled InAs quantum dot contacted with Al lateral electrodes. Due to Kondo enhancement of Andreev reflections the zero-bias anomaly develops sidepeaks, separated by the superconducting gap energy Delta. For ten valleys of different Kondo temperature T_K we tune the gap Delta with an external magnetic field. We find that the zero-bias conductance in each case collapses onto a single curve with Delta/kT_K as the only relevant energy scale, providing experimental evidence for universal scaling in this system.
