Nanoscale superconductors: quantum confinement and spatially dependent Hartree-Fock potential
It is well-known that in bulk, the solution of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations is the same whether or not the Hartree-Fock term is included. In this case the Hartree-Fock potential is position independent and, so, gives the same contribution to both the single-electron energies and the Fermi level (the chemical potential). Thus, the single-electron energy measured from the Fermi level (it co...
متن کاملNew Andreev-type states in superconducting nanowires.
Superconducting nanowires can exhibit a spatially inhomogeneous pair condensate that leads to the formation of new Andreev-type states. Such states are mainly located beyond the regions where the order parameter is enhanced, and no normal-superconducting contact or external magnetic field is needed for their formation. Our numerical self-consistent solutions of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation...
متن کاملJosephson Current For a Graphene Nanoribbon Using a Lattice Model
A tight binding approach based on the Bogoliubov-de Gennes approach has been used to calculate the DC Josephson current for a lattice model for S-GNR-S junctions , for short junctions with respect to superconducting coherence length. We calculate the phase, length, width and chemical potential dependence at the Josephson junction and discuss the similarities and differences with regard to the t...
متن کاملترابرد کوانتمی در ساختارهای فلز - عادی - ابررسانا - فلز - عادیِ گرافین
We study the transport of electrons in a graphene NSN structure in which two normal regions are connected by a superconducting strip of thickness d. Within Dirac-Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations we describe the transmission through the contact in terms of different scattering processes consisting of quasiparticle cotunneling, local and crossed Andreev reflections. Compared to a fully normal stru...
متن کاملMultifarious topological quantum phase transitions in two-dimensional topological superconductors
We study the two-dimensional topological superconductors of spinless fermions in a checkerboard-lattice Chern-insulator model. With the short-range p-wave superconducting pairing, multifarious topological quantum phase transitions have been found and several phases with high Chern numbers have been observed. We have established a rich phase diagram for these topological superconducting states. ...
