Quantum ground state control in superconductor-silicene structures: $0$-$\pi$ transitions, ${\phi }_0$-junctions, and Majorana bound states

Dushko Kuzmanovski, Jacob Linder, Annica Black-Schaffer

We demonstrate theoretically that proximity-induced superconductivity in silicene offers the possibility to exert strong quantum ground state control. We show that electrically con…
