Quantum transport in topological insulator hybrid structures -- A combination of topological insulator and superconductor

Abstract

In this paper, a brief review of the history of topological insulators is given. After that,electronic transport experiments in topological insulator-superconductor hybrid structures, including experimental methods, physical properties and seemingly contradictory observations are discussed. Additionally, some new topological insulator hybrid structures are proposed.
