A unified numerical approach to semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures
Georg W. Winkler, Andrey E. Antipov, Bernard van Heck +4
We develop a unified numerical approach for modeling semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures. Our approach takes into account on equal footing important key ingredients: prox…
Flux-induced Majorana modes in full-shell nanowires
S. Vaitiekėnas, M. -T. Deng, P. Krogstrup +1
We demonstrate a novel means of creating Majorana zero modes using magnetic flux applied to a full superconducting shell surrounding a semiconducting nanowire core, unifying approa…
Topological superconductivity in full shell proximitized nanowires
Roman M. Lutchyn, Georg W. Winkler, Bernard van Heck +4
We consider a new model system supporting Majorana zero modes based on semiconductor nanowires with a full superconducting shell. We demonstrate that, in the presence of spin-orbit…
Electric field tunable superconductor-semiconductor coupling in Majorana nanowires
Michiel W. A. de Moor, Jouri D. S. Bommer, Di Xu +16
We study the effect of external electric fields on superconductor-semiconductor coupling by measuring the electron transport in InSb semiconductor nanowires coupled to an epitaxial…
Automated construction of symmetrized Wannier-like tight-binding models from ab initio calculations
Dominik Gresch, QuanSheng Wu, Georg W. Winkler +3
Wannier tight-binding models are effective models constructed from first-principles calculations. As such, they bridge a gap between the accuracy of first-principles calculations a…
Effects of gate-induced electric fields on semiconductor Majorana nanowires
Andrey E. Antipov, Arno Bargerbos, Georg W. Winkler +3
We study the effect of gate-induced electric fields on the properties of semiconductor-superconductor hybrid nanowires which represent a promising platform for realizing topologica…
