Strong enhancement of g-factor in PbTe-Pb hybrid nanowires

Abstract

We report large Lande g-factors observed in PbTe-Pb hybrid nanowires. The g-factor can reach 83, significantly larger than those in bare PbTe nanowires (typically below 20). We attribute this enhancement to orbital effects in the superconducting film, particularly when the magnetic field is nearly perpendicular to the Pb film. This enhancement is beneficial for the search for topological superconductivity by reducing the critical magnetic field required for the phase transition.
