Induced Half-Metallicity and Gapless Topological Superconductivity in the CrI${}_3$-Pb Interface

Gilad Margalit, Binghai Yan, Yuval Oreg

We study a two-dimensional heterostructure comprised of a monolayer of the magnetic insulator chromium triiodide (CrI${}_3$) on a superconducting lead (Pb) substrate. Through first-p…
