Probing Andreev reflection reach in semiconductor-superconductor hybrids by Aharonov-Bohm effect
arXiv:1809.11111 · doi:10.1063/1.5063975
Abstract
Recent development in fabrication of hybrid nanostructures allows for creation of quantum interferometers that combine semiconductor and superconductor materials. We show that in those nanostructures the joint phenomena of Aharonov-Bohm effect and Andreev reflections can be used to determine the length on which the electron is retro-reflected as a hole. We propose to exploit this feature for probing of the quasiparticle coherence length in semiconductor-superconductor hybrids by a magnetoconductance measurement.
