摘要:

螺旋态是许多自旋电子学应用和纳米半导体中的马约拉纳零模工程的基本先决条件。其存在于准一维纳米线中被预测为电导中的特征重入行为,这在典型的两端结构中可能难以与其他可能的现象(例如法布里-珀罗振荡)区分开。在这里,我们提出了一种替代方法的螺旋间隙检测免费的上述模糊性,并基于在三端结的非本地电导测量。我们发现,自旋轨道耦合和垂直磁场之间的相互作用,导致自旋相关的轨道的电子,并作为一个结果,优先注入的电子在一个臂。这导致了显着增强的非局部电导在螺旋间隙制度。我们表明,这种现象也可以用来检测拓扑超导相时,结是部分接近的s波超导体。

英文摘要:

The helical state is a fundamental prerequisite for many spintronics applications and Majorana zero mode engineering in nanoscopic semiconductors. Its existence in quasi-one-dimensional nanowires was predicted to be detectable as a characteristic reentrant behavior in the conductance, which in a typical two-terminal architecture may be difficult to distinguish from other possible phenomena such as Fabry-Perot oscillations. Here we present an alternative method of helical gap detection free of the mentioned ambiguity, and based on the nonlocal conductance measurements in a three-terminal junction. We find that the interplay between the spin-orbit coupling and the perpendicular magnetic field leads to a spin-dependent trajectory of electrons and as a consequence a preferential injection of electrons in one of the arms. This causes a remarkable enhancement of nonlocal conductance in the helical gap regime. We show that this phenomenon can be also used to detect the topological superconducting phase when the junction is partially proximitized by an s-wave superconductor.
