摘要:

基于石墨烯的约瑟夫森结为研究石墨烯独特的电子光谱引起的邻近效应和通过栅极电压调节结特性的可能性提供了一个新的平台。在这里,我们描述了石墨烯结的平均自由程为几微米,低接触电阻和大的超电流。这种器件不仅在正常态电阻中,而且在临界电流中表现出明显的法布里-珀罗振荡。在低于10 mT的磁场中,邻近效应大部分被抑制,显示出常规的夫琅和费图案。出乎意料的是,即使在高于1 T的磁场中,也存在一些邻近性。超导态随机地出现和消失作为场和载流子浓度的函数,并且它们中的每一个都表现出接近于普适量子极限的超导载流能力。我们将高场约瑟夫森效应归因于在石墨烯边缘附近持续存在的介观Andreev态。我们的工作揭示了新的邻近制度,可以控制的量子限制和回旋运动。

英文摘要:

Graphene-based Josephson junctions provide a novel platform for studying the proximity effect due to graphene's unique electronic spectrum and the possibility to tune junction properties by gate voltage. Here we describe graphene junctions with a mean free path of several micrometres, low contact resistance and large supercurrents. Such devices exhibit pronounced Fabry-Pérot oscillations not only in the normal-state resistance but also in the critical current. The proximity effect is mostly suppressed in magnetic fields below 10mT, showing the conventional Fraunhofer pattern. Unexpectedly, some proximity survives even in fields higher than 1 T. Superconducting states randomly appear and disappear as a function of field and carrier concentration, and each of them exhibits a supercurrent carrying capacity close to the universal quantum limit. We attribute the high-field Josephson effect to mesoscopic Andreev states that persist near graphene edges. Our work reveals new proximity regimes that can be controlled by quantum confinement and cyclotron motion.
