Superconducting Diode Effect in Quantum Spin Hall Insulator-based Josephson Junctions
Benedikt Scharf, Denis Kochan, Alex Matos-Abiague
The superconducting diode effect (SDE) is a magneto-electric phenomenon where an external magnetic field imparts a non-zero center-of-mass momentum to Cooper pairs, either facilita…
Crystalline Anisotropic Topological Superconductivity in Planar Josephson Junctions
Joseph D. Pakizer, Benedikt Scharf, Alex Matos-Abiague
We theoretically investigate the crystalline anisotropy of topological phase transitions in phase-controlled planar Josephson junctions (JJs) subject to spin-orbit coupling and in-…
Planar Josephson Hall effect in topological Josephson junctions
Oleksii Maistrenko, Benedikt Scharf, Dirk Manske +1
Josephson junctions based on three-dimensional topological insulators offer intriguing possibilities to realize unconventional -wave pairing and Majorana modes. Here, we provide…
Topological Josephson Heat Engine
Benedikt Scharf, Alessandro Braggio, Elia Strambini +2
The promise of fault-tolerant quantum computing has made topological superconductors the focus of intense research during the past decade. In this context, topological Josephson ju…
Tuning Topological Superconductivity in Phase-Controlled Josephson Junctions with Rashba and Dresselhaus Spin-Orbit Coupling
Benedikt Scharf, Falko Pientka, Hechen Ren +2
Recently, topological superconductors based on Josephson junctions in two-dimensional electron gases with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling have been proposed as attractive alterna…
