Superconducting-contact-induced resistance-anomalies in the 3D topological insulator Bi2Te3
arXiv:1602.04371 · doi:10.1063/1.4934871
Abstract
This study examines the magnetotransport response observed in flakes of the 3D topological insulator (TI) Bi2Te3, including indium superconducting electrodes, and demonstrates two critical transitions in the magnetoresistive response with decreasing temperatures below T = 3.4K. The first transition is attributed to superconductivity in the indium electrodes, and the second transition, with a critical field exceeding the transition field of indium, is attributed to a proximity effect at the 2D planar interface of this hybrid TI/superconductor structure.
