超导体-石墨烯界面Andreev电导的磁场抑制

Magnetic field suppression of Andreev conductance at superconductor-graphene interfaces

摘要:

研究二维材料中超导性和量子磁输运之间的相互作用是近年来人们感兴趣的课题。为了实现这一目标,了解磁场对超导体-正常沟道界面电荷输运的影响是非常重要的。在这里,我们进行了一个全面的研究Andreev电导弱磁场下使用扩散超导体-石墨烯约瑟夫森弱链接。我们观察到Andreev电导甚至在远低于超导体上临界场的磁场中也被抑制。Andreev电导的抑制取决于磁场的斜坡变化,并且可以通过控制磁场的斜坡变化来最小化。我们发现,这种抑制背后的关键因素是减少的超导能隙由于超导接触上的涡流堆积。在超导体-石墨烯界面处超导能隙由于邻近效应而严重减小的装置中,增大的涡核随着磁场的增加而快速重叠,导致界面间隙的快速减小。然而,在具有相对大的有效超导能隙的弱连接中,AR电导持续到上临界场。我们的研究结果提供了指导的量子材料超导系统中存在的磁场,其中的“生存”的诱导超导性是至关重要的。

英文摘要:

Studying the interplay between superconductivity and quantum magnetotransport in two-dimensional materials has been a topic of interest in recent years. Towards such a goal it is important to understand the impact of magnetic field on the charge transport at the superconductor-normal channel (SN) interface. Here we carried out a comprehensive study of Andreev conductance under weak magnetic fields using diffusive superconductor- graphene Josephson weak links. We observe that the Andreev conductance is suppressed even in magnetic fields far below the upper critical field of the superconductor. The suppression of Andreev conductance depends on and can be minimized by controlling the ramping of the magnetic field. We identify that the key factor behind this suppression is the reduction of the superconducting gap due to the piling of vortices on the superconducting contacts. In devices where superconducting gap at the superconductor-graphene interface is heavily reduced by proximity effect, the enlarged vortex cores overlap quickly with increasing magnetic field, resulting in a rapid decrease of the interfacial gap. However, in weak links with relatively large effective superconducting gap the AR conductance persists up to the upper critical field. Our results provide guidance to the study of quantum material-superconductor systems in presence of magnetic field, where 'survival' of induced superconductivity is critical.
