Zero Bias Conductance Peak Enhancement in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8/Pb Tunneling Junctions
We found strong zero bias conductance peak enhancement in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 by tunneling in the ab-plane direction. Our results are consistent with recent studies on Andreev reflection between a d-wave superconductor and normal metal. We have also observed exotic behaviors of the conductance peak if the counter electrode is a conventional superconductor. If these characteristics are better understo...
متن کاملZero-bias peaks in the tunneling conductance of spin-orbit-coupled superconducting wires with and without Majorana end-states.
One of the simplest proposed experimental probes of a Majorana bound state is a quantized (2e(2)/h) value of zero-bias tunneling conductance. When temperature is somewhat larger than the intrinsic width of the Majorana peak, conductance is no longer quantized, but a zero-bias peak can remain. Such a nonquantized zero-bias peak has been recently reported for semiconducting nanowires with proximi...
متن کاملEnhanced zero-bias Majorana peak in the differential tunneling conductance of disordered multisubband quantum-wire/superconductor junctions.
A recent experiment Mourik et al. [Science 336, 1003 (2012)] on InSb quantum wires provides possible evidence for the realization of a topological superconducting phase and the formation of Majorana bound states. Motivated by this experiment, we consider the signature of Majorana bound states in the differential tunneling conductance of multisubband wires. We show that the weight of the Majoran...
متن کاملParity independence of the zero-bias conductance peak in a nanowire based topological superconductor-quantum dot hybrid device
We explore the signatures of Majorana fermions in a nanowire based topological superconductor-quantum dot-topological superconductor hybrid device by charge transport measurements. At zero magnetic field, well-defined Coulomb diamonds and the Kondo effect are observed. Under the application of a finite, sufficiently strong magnetic field, a zero-bias conductance peak structure is observed. It i...
متن کاملObservation of strong-coupling superconductivity and anomalous zero-bias tunneling conductance peak in MgCNi3
Tunneling spectra of the intermetallic perovskite superconductor MgCNi3 were obtained using mechanical and planar junctions prepared on polycrystalline samples. A clear gap feature corresponding to the bulk phase (Tc ≈ 7.6 K) was observed. The superconducting energy gap ∆(0) was found to be approximately 1.5 meV, with 2∆/kBTc ≈ 4.6. Compared with the weak-coupling value of 2∆/kBTc ≈ 3.53, our r...
