Spin-orbit effects in the supercurrent response of superconducting heterostructures and Josephson junctions (B08)

We propose to investigate the magnetic response of heterostructure composed of thin superconduct-ing films deposited on semiconductors or semimetals with strong spin-orbit inter-action (SOI). The temperature dependence and possible anisotropies of the superfluid stiffness will be determined. We will further study the effect of the SOI individual Josephson junctions and Josephson networks that are based on proximity coupling through crystals with strong SOI, and image the supercurrent distribution using scanning Hall microscopy.
