摘要:

半导体纳米线由于其受限的几何形状和静电可调性,为量子输运开辟了新的研究途径。它们为超导性提供了一个特殊的试验平台,从而实现了将超导体的宏观量子特性与控制电荷到单个电子的可能性相结合的混合系统。这些进展使半导体纳米线成为实现拓扑超导性和马约拉纳模式的最前沿。从Majoranas的拓扑性质中受益的主要挑战是减少混合纳米线器件中的无序。在这里,我们展示了InSb半导体纳米线的弹道超导性。我们的结构和化学分析表明,纳米线和NbTiN超导体之间的高质量的界面,使弹道输运。这表现为正常载流子的量子化电导,Andreev反射载流子的强烈增强的电导,以及具有显着降低的态密度的诱导硬间隙。这些结果为无无序的马约拉纳器件铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

Semiconductor nanowires have opened new research avenues in quantum transport owing to their confined geometry and electrostatic tunability. They have offered an exceptional testbed for superconductivity, leading to the realization of hybrid systems combining the macroscopic quantum properties of superconductors with the possibility to control charges down to a single electron. These advances brought semiconductor nanowires to the forefront of efforts to realize topological superconductivity and Majorana modes. A prime challenge to benefit from the topological properties of Majoranas is to reduce the disorder in hybrid nanowire devices. Here, we show ballistic superconductivity in InSb semiconductor nanowires. Our structural and chemical analyses demonstrate a high-quality interface between the nanowire and a NbTiN superconductor which enables ballistic transport. This is manifested by a quantized conductance for normal carriers, a strongly enhanced conductance for Andreev-reflecting carriers, and an induced hard gap with a significantly reduced density of states. These results pave the way for disorder-free Majorana devices.
