Realisation of de Gennes Absolute Superconducting Switch with a Heavy Metal Interface
Hisakazu Matsuki, Alberto Hijano, Grzegorz P. Mazur +13
In 1966, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes proposed a non-volatile mechanism for switching superconductivity on and off in a magnetic device. This involved a superconductor (S) sandwiched be…

Quantized conductance in split gate superconducting quantum point contacts with InGaAs semiconducting two-dimensional electron systems
Kaveh Delfanazari, Jiahui Li, Yusheng Xiong +11
Quantum point contact or QPC -- a constriction in a semiconducting two-dimensional (2D) electron system with a quantized conductance -- has been found as the building block of nove…
