Hybrid High-Temperature-Superconductor–Semiconductor Tunnel Diode

Abstract: We report the demonstration of hybrid high-T c -superconductor-semiconductor tunnel junctions, enabling new interdisciplinary directions in condensed matter research. The devices are fabricated by our newly developed mechanical-bonding technique, resulting in high-T c -superconductor-semiconductor tunnel diodes. Tunneling-spectra characterization of the hybrid junctions of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8þ combined with bulk GaAs, or a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well, exhibits excess voltage and nonlinearity, similarly to spectr… Show more

“…1B. For every temperature (T) shown, dI/dV (T ) curves are normalized to the normal-state conductance, taken at 110 K. As the temperature is lowered below the T c of Bi-2212, we observe the clear opening of the superconducting gap starting at T c =85 K, consistent with our previous studies of high barrier junctions between Bi-2212 and a variety of materials (GaAs, Graphite) 19,28 as well as other tunnelling measurements 9,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35] . The conductance at high-bias (and the overall spectra) decreases continuously as the temperature is lowered, partially due to the Bi 2 Te 2 Se becoming more resistive (Fig.…”

“…At temperatures below the superconducting transition of typical s-wave low-T c materials such as Nb [30], the emitted photons thus should be in an essentially pure entangled state. The superconducting proximity effect has been demon- strated recently with high-T c materials [32], enabling potential applications of this scheme at much higher temperatures in hybrid semiconductor high-T c devices as well [33].…”
