Parity dependent Josephson current through a helical Luttinger liquid
We consider a superconductor–two dimensional topological insulator–superconductor junction and study how the 2π and 4π -periodic Josephson currents are affected by the electron–electron interaction. In the longjunction limit the supercurrent can be evaluated by modeling the system as a helical Luttinger liquid coupled to superconducting reservoirs. After having introduced bosonization in the pr...
متن کاملEffect of Impurities on the Josephson Current through Helical Metals: Exploiting a Neutrino Paradigm.
In this Letter we study the effect of time-reversal symmetric impurities on the Josephson supercurrent through two-dimensional helical metals such as on a topological insulator surface state. We show that, contrary to the usual superconducting-normal metal-superconducting junctions, the suppression of the supercurrent in the superconducting-helical metal-superconducting junction is mainly due t...
متن کاملNonequilibrium stationary states with ratchet effect.
An ensemble of particles in thermal equilibrium at temperature T, modeled by Nosè-Hoover dynamics, moves on a triangular lattice of oriented semidisk elastic scatterers. Despite the scatterer asymmetry, a directed transport is clearly ruled out by the second law of thermodynamics. Introduction of a polarized zero mean monochromatic field creates a directed stationary flow with nontrivial depend...
متن کاملCorner junction as a probe of helical edge states.
We propose and analyze interedge tunneling in a quantum spin Hall corner junction as a means to probe the helical nature of the edge states. We show that electron-electron interactions in the one-dimensional helical edge states result in Luttinger parameters for spin and charge that are intertwined, and thus rather different from those for a quantum wire with spin rotation invariance. Consequen...
متن کاملHelical edge states and fractional quantum Hall effect in a graphene electron-hole bilayer.
Helical 1D electronic systems are a promising route towards realizing circuits of topological quantum states that exhibit non-Abelian statistics. Here, we demonstrate a versatile platform to realize 1D systems made by combining quantum Hall (QH) edge states of opposite chiralities in a graphene electron-hole bilayer at moderate magnetic fields. Using this approach, we engineer helical 1D edge c...
