The superconducting proximity effect in Bi2Se3 thin-films
… islands of the superconductor niobium. The superconducting islands interact with the Bi2Se3 and each other through the superconducting proximity effect and the Josephson effect. Theoretical work asserts that this system supports so-called Majorana bound states, which are exotic excitations …

The Influence of Contact Transparency on the Superconducting Proximity Effect in Thin Semiconducting Films
The superconducting proximity effect allows for the introduction of pair correlations into otherwise normal metals provided that they are coupled through a sufficiently transparent junction. The influence of this proximity effect manifests itself by modifying both the normal layer sheet resistance …

Studies of Interfacial Phenomena: Alkanethiol Adsorption and Patterning on Gold and the Superconducting Proximity Effect in Superconductor /Semiconductor Systems
The second phenomenon studied is the superconducting proximity effect at Nb/InAs and NbN/InAs interfaces. Previous investigations of Nb/InGaAs show an excess conductance at low bias voltages when the system is superconducting. However, current models do not sufficiently explain this excess …

Quantum transport theory of 3D time-reversal invariant topological insulators
… be elegantly written in terms of a low-energy effective momentum-space Hamiltonian, but analytic methods quickly become intractable in multifarious systems and disordered heterostructures which in general lack translational invariance, as momentum is no longer a good quantum number. …

Electronic transport and structure of a surface quantum well
… of buffer layers on which to grow InAs. The superconducting proximity effect in a highly spin-orbit coupled material such as InAs is key to the realization of Majorana zero modes and future advances in topological computing. The surface accumulation layer that InAs forms when in contact with …

Electronic and optical properties of thin-film superconductors and superconductor - semiconductor interfaces
… increased in the basic research area. The superconducting proximity effect, known for about four decades, still poses many unanswered questions. Use of a semiconductor instead of a metal broadens the possibilities: superconductor-semiconductor interfaces are tunable, and their parameters …

Topological insulators and semimetals in the presence of interactions
… the next chapters. In chapter. 2, we study the superconducting proximity effect in the 3D time-reversal invariant topological insulator(TI). The 3D TI proximity coupled with s-wave superconductor is predicted to host Majorana fermions. To experimentally detect the Majorana fermions, the 3D TI …
