We demonstrate experimentally that the transitions between adjacent integer quantum Hall (QH) states are equivalent to a QH-to-insulator transition occurring in the top Landau level, in the presence of an inert background of the other…

Scattering processes in quantum materials emerge as resonances in electronic transport, including confined modes, Andreev states, and Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states. However, in most instances, these resonances are driven by a single scattering…

We study the angle dependence of the Andreev scattering at a semiconductor-superconductor interface, generalizing the one-dimensional theory of Blonder, Tinkham and Klapwijk. An increase of the momentum parallel to the interface leads to…

We have studied a near-surface two-dimensional electron gas based on an InAs quantum well on a GaAs substrate. In devices without a dielectric layer we estimated large electron mobilities on the order of $10^5$ cm$^2$/Vs. We have observed…

We experimentally investigate electron transport through the interface between a superconductor and the edge of a two-dimensional electron system with band inversion. The interface is realized as a tunnel NbN side contact to a narrow 8~nm…

We experimentally investigate transport properties of a single planar junction between the niobium superconductor and the edge of a two-dimensional electron system in a narrow $In_{0.75}Ga_{0.25}As$ quantum well with strong Rashba-type…

We use point contact spectroscopy (PCS) to probe the superconducting properties of electron doped $\rm{Ba(Fe_{1-x}Co_x)_2As_2}$ ($\rm{x = 0.05, 0.055, 0.07, 0.08}$) and hole doped $\rm{Ba_{0.8}K_{0.2}Fe_2As_2}$. PCS directly probes the low…

We investigate the challenges of reaching the quantum regime and generating minimal excitations in the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) under AC driving. Using the unifying non-equilibrium perturbative (UNEP) approach, we analyze weak…

Andreev reflection (AR) and Yanson point-contact spectroscopy (PCS) have been applied simul-taneously to study the superconducting (SC) gap and the electron-phonon interaction (EPI) in a Zn single crystal. The correlation between SC gap…

In this work, we investigate the thermoelectric properties of a hybrid junction realised coupling surface states of a three-dimensional topological insulator with a conventional $s$-wave superconductor. We focus on the ballistic devices and…

A quantum spin Hall strip where different edges are contacted by $s$-wave superconductors with a phase difference $\phi$ supports Majorana bound states protected by time-reversal symmetry. We study signatures of these states in a…

Recent theories suggest that the excitations of certain quantum Hall states may have exotic braiding statistics which could be used to build topological quantum gates. This has prompted an experimental push to study such states using…

We investigate the interaction of ultracold antihydrogen with a conducting surface. Our discussion focuses on the physical regime where the phenomenon of quantum reflection manifests. We calculate the reflection probability as function of…

We investigate integer and fractional quantum Hall states in quantum point contacts (QPCs) of different geometries, defined in AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures employing different doping and screening techniques. We find that, even in the…

Using Andreev reflection (AR) as an experimental gauge of the superconducting proximity effect (PE), we assess the topological purity of the superconductivity that is induced by the c-axis PE between an s-wave superconductor and the…

Electrical transport through a normal metal / superconductor contact at biases smaller than the energy gap can occur via the reflection of an electron as a hole of opposite wave vector. The same mechanism of electron-hole reflection gives…

Motivated by experimental observation of the Kondo-enhanced Andreev transport [R. S. Deacon \textit{et al.}, PRB \textbf{81}, 121308(R) (2010)] in a hybrid normal metal-quantum dot-superconductor (N-QD-S) device, we theoretically study the…

Recent development in fabrication of hybrid nanostructures allows for creation of quantum interferometers that combine semiconductor and superconductor materials. We show that in those nanostructures the joint phenomena of Aharonov-Bohm…

We study quantum point contacts in two-dimensional topological insulators by means of quantum transport simulations for InAs/GaSb heterostructures and HgTe/(Hg,Cd)Te quantum wells. In InAs/GaSb, the density of edge states shows an…

Using an innovative combination of a quasi-Corbino sample geometry and the cross-gate technique, we have developed a method that enables us to separately contact single edge channels in the quantum Hall regime and investigate equilibration…
