Superconducting proximity effect and possible evidence for Pearl vortices in a candidate topological insulator

Superconducting proximity effect and possible evidence for Pearl vortices in a candidate topological insulator

We report the observation of the superconducting proximity effect in nanoribbons of a candidate topological insulator (Bi2Se3) which is interfaced with superconducting (tungsten) contacts. We observe a supercurrent and multiple Andreev reflections for channel lengths that are much longer than the inelastic and diffusive thermal lengths deduced from normal state …
