چکیده

We study ring-shaped (Corbino) devices made of bilayer two-dimensional electron gases in the total filling factor one quantized Hall phase, which is considered to be a coherent Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer-like state of interlayer excitons. Identical Josephson currents are observed at the two edges while only a negligible conductance between them is found. The maximum Josephson current observed at either edge can be controlled by passing a second interlayer Josephson current at the other edge. Because of the large electric resistance between the two edges, the interaction between them can only be mediated by the neutral interlayer excitonic ground state.

Quantitative description of Josephson-like tunneling in νT = 1 quantum Hall bilayers

At total filling factor νT = 1, interlayer phase coherence in quantum Hall bilayers can result in a tunneling anomaly resembling the Josephson effect in the presence of strong fluctuations. The most robust experimental signature of this effect is a strong enhancement of the tunneling conductance at small voltages. The height and width of the conductance peak depend strongly on the area and tunn...

Josephson Currents in the Bilayer Exciton Condensate

Reducing the dimension of an electronic charge system from three to two leads to the emergence of intriguing phenomena like the integer and fractional quantum Hall effect (QHE) or special forms of superconductivity . Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) in GaAs quantum wells embedded in AlGaAs buffer layers are unique because of their extreme high purity characterized by electron and hole mobi...

Dc Transformer and Dc Josephson(-like) Effects in Quantum Hall Bilayers

In the early days of superconductivity, Ivar Giaver discovered that it was possible to make a novel DC transformer by using one superconductor to drag vortices through another. An analogous effect was predicted to exist in quantum Hall bilayers and has recently been discovered experimentally by Eisenstein’s group at Caltech. Similarly, new experiments from the Caltech group have demonstrated th...

Revealing topological superconductivity in extended quantum spin Hall Josephson junctions.

Quantum spin Hall-superconductor hybrids are promising sources of topological superconductivity and Majorana modes, particularly given recent progress on HgTe and InAs/GaSb. We propose a new method of revealing topological superconductivity in extended quantum spin Hall Josephson junctions supporting "fractional Josephson currents." Specifically, we show that as one threads magnetic flux betwee...

Josephson effect without superconductivity: realization in quantum Hall bilayers.

We show that a quantum Hall bilayer with the total filling nu = 1 should exhibit a dynamical regime similar to the flux flow in large Josephson junctions. This analogy may explain a conspicuous peak in the interlayer tunneling conductance [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5808 (2000)]. The flux flow is likely to be spatiotemporally chaotic at low-bias voltage, which will manifest itself through broadband n...
