Lateral Josephson effect on the surface of Co${}_3$Sn${}_2$S${}_2$ magnetic Weyl semimetal

Abstract

We experimentally study lateral electron transport between two 5~$\mu$m spaced superconducting indium leads on a top of magnetic Weyl semimetal Co${}_3$Sn${}_2$S${}_2$. For the disordered magnetic state of Co${}_3$Sn${}_2$S${}_2$ crystal, we only observe the Andreev reflection in the proximity of each of the leads, which is indicative of highly transparent In-Co${}_3$Sn${}_2$S${}_2$ interfaces. If the sample is homogeneously magnetized, it demonstrates well-developed anomalous Hall effect state. In this regime we find the Josephson current that takes place even for 5~$\mu$m long junctions and shows the unusual magnetic field and temperature dependencies. As a possible reason for the results obtained, we discuss the contribution to the proximity-induced spin-triplet Josephson current from the topologically protected Fermi-arc states on the surface of Co${}_3$Sn${}_2$S${}_2$.
