Superconductivity and quantum oscillations in crystalline Bi nanowires
Mingliang Tian, Jian Wang, Qi Zhang +3
While bulk bismuth (Bi) is a semimetal, we have found clear evidence of superconductivity in a crystalline 72 nm diameter Bi nanowire below 1.3 K. In a parallel magnetic field (H),…
Proximity-induced superconductivity in nanowires: Mini-gap state and differential magnetoresistance oscillations
Jian Wang, Chuntai Shi, Mingliang Tian +5
We study proximity-induced superconductivity in gold nanowires as a function of the length of the nanowire, magnetic field, and excitation current. Short nanowires exhibit a sharp…
Evidence of local superconductivity in granular Bi nanowires fabricated by electrodeposition
Mingliang Tian, Nitesh Kumar, Thomas E. Mallouk +1
An unusual enhancement of resistance (i.e., superresistivity) below a certain characteristic temperature Tsr was observed in granular Bi nanowires. This superresistive state was fo…
Suppression of superconductivity in nanowires by bulk superconductors
Mingliang Tian, Nitesh Kumar, Shengyong Xu +3
Transport measurements were made on a system consisting of a zinc nanowire array sandwiched between two bulk superconducting electrodes (Sn or In). It was found that the supercondu…
