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

本文研究了在具有强自旋-轨道相互作用的半导体或半金属上沉积超导薄膜构成的异质结构的磁响应。温度依赖性和可能的各向异性的超流刚度将被确定。我们将进一步研究SOI单个约瑟夫森结和约瑟夫森网络的影响，这些结和约瑟夫森网络是基于通过具有强SOI的晶体的邻近耦合，并且使用扫描霍尔显微镜来成像超导电流分布。

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.
