The combination of superconductivity and the helical spin-momentum locking at the surface state of a topological insulator (TI) has been predicted to give rise to p-wave superconductivity and Majorana bound states. The superconductivity can…
At an interface between a topological insulator (TI) and a conventional superconductor (SC), superconductivity has been predicted to change dramatically and exhibit novel correlations. In particular, the induced superconductivity by an…
We study the low-energy physics of topological insulator (TI) nanoribbons proximity-coupled to s-wave superconductors (SCs) by explicitly incorporating the proximity effects that emerge at the TI-SC interface. We construct a low-energy…
We theoretically consider superconducting proximity effect, using the Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory, in heterostructure sandwich-type geometries involving a normal s-wave superconductor and a non-superconducting material with the proximity…
Superconductor-topological insulator (SC-TI) heterostructures were proposed to be a possible platform to realize and control Majorana zero-modes. Despite experimental signatures indicating their existence, univocal interpretation of the…
We theoretically study superconducting proximity effect between a topological insulator (TI) and a high-temperature d-wave superconductor (dSC). When the TI-dSC heterostructure violates 90 degree-rotation and certain reflection symmetries,…
We study the excitation spectrum of a topological insulator in contact with an s-wave superconductor, starting from a microscopic model, and develop an effective low-energy model for the proximity effect. In the vicinity of the Dirac cone…
We consider the proximity effect in a Topological Insulator sandwiched between two conventional superconductors, by comparing s-wave spin singlet superconducting pairing correlations and odd-parity triplet pairing correlations with zero…
We study the inverse proximity effect in a bilayer consisting of a thin $s$- or $d$-wave superconductor (S) and a topological insulator (TI). Integrating out the topological fermions of the TI, we find that spin-orbit coupling is induced in…
Interfacing a topological insulator (TI) with an $s$-wave superconductor (SC) is a promising material platform that offers the possibility to realize a topological superconductor through which Majorana-based topologically protected qubits…
Proximity effect is used to generate effective topological superconductor by placing strong spin orbit interacting metals with superconducting materials, aiming to produce Majorana zero modes useful for topologically protected quantum…
Much interest in the superconducting proximity effect in three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs) has been driven by the potential to induce Majorana bound states at the interface. Most candidate materials for 3D TI, however, are…
We study and classify the proximity-induced superconducting pairing in a topological insulator (TI)-superconductor (SC) hybrid structure for SCs with different symmetries. The Dirac surface state gives a coupling between spin-singlet and…
Superconductors derived from topological insulators and topological crystalline insulators by doping have long been considered to be candidates as topological superconductors. Pb$_{0.5}$Sn$_{0.5}$Te is a topological crystalline insulator…
Superconducting topological crystalline insulators (TCI) are predicted to host new topological phases protected by crystalline symmetries, but available materials are insufficiently suitable for surface studies. To induce superconductivity…
Superconducting-proximity topological insulators (STIs) have garnered significant research attention over the past two decades. In this Letter, we demonstrate that a low-dimensional STI in the topological-nontrivial phase (TP) exhibits an…
Proximity effect in a mechanically exfoliated Bi1.95Sb0.05Se3 topological insulator (TI) single crystal partially covered with disordered superconducting (SC) Mo thin film is reported. Magnetotransport measurement was performed…
The paper proposes a self-consistent Green function description of the induced surface superconductivity in a disordered three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) coupled to an s-wave superconductor. We recover earlier results regarding…
Topological crystalline insulators represent a new state of matter, in which the electronic transport is governed by mirror-symmetry protected Dirac surface states. Due to the helical spin-polarization of these surface states, the proximity…
We study how non-helical spin textures at the boundary between a topological insulator (TI) and a superconductor (SC) affect the proximity-induced superconductivity of the TI interface state. We consider TIs coupled to both spin-singlet and…
