Interplay of Phonon and Exciton-Mediated Superconductivity in Hybrid Semiconductor-Superconductor Structures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We predict a strong enhancement of the critical temperature in a conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductor in the presence of a bosonic condensate of exciton polaritons. The effect depends strongly on the ratio of the cutoff frequencies for phonon and exciton-polariton mediated BCS superconductivity, respectively. We also discuss a possible design of hybrid semiconductor-superconductor structures suitable for the experimental observation of such an effect.

0 Large oxygen - isotope effect in Sr 0 . 4 K 0 . 6 BiO 3 : Evidence for phonon - mediated superconductivity
Oxygen-isotope effect has been investigated in a recently discovered superconductor Sr0.4K0.6BiO3. This compound has a distorted perovskite structure and becomes superconducting at about 12 K. Upon replacing 16O with 18O by 60-80%, the Tc of the sample is shifted down by 0.32-0.50 K, corresponding to an isotope exponent of αO = 0.40(5). This isotope exponent is very close to that for a similar ...
متن کاملSpecific heat of aluminium-doped superconducting silicon carbide
The discoveries of superconductivity in heavily boron-doped diamond, silicon and silicon carbide renewed the interest in the ground states of charge-carrier doped wide-gap semiconductors. Recently, aluminium doping in silicon carbide successfully yielded a metallic phase from which at high aluminium concentrations superconductivity emerges. Here, we present a specific-heat study on superconduct...
متن کاملPhonon-mediated superconductivity in graphene by lithium deposition
Graphene1 is the physical realization of many fundamental concepts and phenomena in solid-state physics2. However, in the list of graphene’s many remarkable properties3–6, superconductivity is notably absent. If it were possible to find a way to induce superconductivity, it could improve the performance and enable more efficient integration of a variety of promising device concepts including na...
متن کاملThe reduced total isotope effect and its implications on the nature of superconductivity in MgB2
The recent discovery of superconductivity at ~39 K in MgB2, by Nagamatsu et al.1 establishes this simple binary compound as having the highest bulk superconducting transition temperature, Tc, of any non-copper-oxide material. Much of the initial research has focused on whether MgB2 is a conventional BCS, electron-phonon mediated superconductor, and, if it is, why Tc is so high. Isotope effect m...
متن کاملProximity effect in normal metal–multiband superconductor hybrid structures
A theory of the proximity effect in normal metal–multiband superconductor hybrid structures is formulated within the quasiclassical Green’s function formalism. The quasiclassical boundary conditions for multiband hybrid structures are derived in the dirty limit. It is shown that the existence of multiple superconducting bands manifests itself as the occurrence of additional peaks in the density...
