Presence versus absence of charging energies in PbTe quantum dots
Yuhao Wang, Lining Yang, Wenyu Song +18
Charging energy () is essential in quantum dot (QD) devices. Previous studies on PbTe QDs have reported both the presence and absence of . To resolve this ambiguity, we v…
Strong enhancement of g-factor in PbTe-Pb hybrid nanowires
Shan Zhang, Wenyu Song, Zonglin Li +17
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 att…
Enhanced superconductivity in PbTe-In hybrids
Zuhan Geng, Fangting Chen, Yichun Gao +18
We report the realization of epitaxial indium thin films on PbTe nanowires. The film is continuous and forms an atomically sharp interface with PbTe. Tunneling devices reveal a har…
Anisotropy of PbTe nanowires with and without a superconductor
Zonglin Li, Wenyu Song, Shan Zhang +17
We investigate the anisotropic behaviors in PbTe and PbTe-Pb hybrid nanowires. In previous studies on PbTe, wire-to-wire variations in anisotropy indicate poor device control, posi…
Reducing disorder in PbTe nanowires for Majorana research
Wenyu Song, Zehao Yu, Yuhao Wang +19
Material challenges are the key issue in Majorana research where surface disorder constrains device performance. Here, we tackle this challenge by embedding PbTe nanowires within a…
Coulomb blockade in open superconducting islands on InAs nanowires
Huading Song, Zhaoyu Wang, Dong Pan +8
Electrons in closed systems can exhibit Coulomb blockade (CB) oscillations due to charge quantization. Here, we report CB oscillations in aluminum superconducting islands on InAs n…
