Electrostatic control of the proximity effect in the bulk of semiconductor-superconductor hybrids

N. van Loo, G. P. Mazur, T. Dvir +11

The proximity effect in semiconductor-superconductor nanowires is expected to generate an induced gap in the semiconductor. The magnitude of this induced gap, together with the sem…

Nonlocal measurement of quasiparticle charge and energy relaxation in proximitized semiconductor nanowires using quantum dots

Guanzhong Wang, Tom Dvir, Nick van Loo +6

The lowest-energy excitations of superconductors do not carry an electric charge, as their wave function is equally electron-like and hole-like. This fundamental property is not ea…

Parity transitions in the superconducting ground state of hybrid InSb-Al Coulomb islands

Jie Shen, Sebastian Heedt, Francesco Borsoi +14

The number of electrons in small metallic or semiconducting islands is quantized. When tunnelling is enabled via opaque barriers this number can change by an integer. In supercondu…

Realizing Majorana zero modes in superconductor-semiconductor heterostructures

R. M. Lutchyn, E. P. A. M. Bakkers, L. P. Kouwenhoven +3

Realizing topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes in the laboratory is one of the major goals in condensed matter physics. We review the current status of this rapidl…

Supercurrent reversal in quantum dots

Jorden A. van Dam, Yuli V. Nazarov, Erik P. A. M. Bakkers +2

When two superconductors become electrically connected by a weak link a zero-resistance supercurrent can flow. This supercurrent is carried by Cooper pairs of electrons with a comb…

Tunable Supercurrent Through Semiconductor Nanowires

Yong-Joo Doh, Jorden A. van Dam, Aarnoud L. Roest +3

Nanoscale superconductor-semiconductor hybrid devices are assembled from InAs semiconductor nanowires individually contacted by aluminum-based superconductor electrodes. Below 1 K,…
