Zigzag边纳米石墨带超导结中的可控0-π相变

Controllable 0-π transition in a zigzag superconducting graphene-nanoribbon junction

  • 摘要: 文章作者利用实空间格林函数方法研究了超导体-zigzag边纳米石墨带-超导体(SGS)约瑟夫森结中的超导输运行为.结果发现:(1)通过一个外加横向电场可以使该超导结的超流方向发生翻转,即发生超导0-π相变;(2)通过改变纳米石墨带的长度或者其上的门电压,同样也可以使它发生0-π相变.由于可以用外电场方便地控制该超导结0-π相变的发生,使得它有可能在未来的量子计算以及超导电子学中发挥巨大的作用.

     

    Abstract: The supercurrent in a Josephson junction composed of a zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) lying between two superconducting leads [superconductor-graphene-superconductor (SGS) junction] has been studied by the Green's function method. It is found that applying a small transverse electric field can reverse the supercurrent direction, leading to a so-called 0-π phase transition. This transition can also happen periodically with a given change in the ZGNR's length, and, more importantly, can be easily and electrically controllable by a gate voltage, which is not possible in conventional superconducting π junctions and makes the SGS junction very promising for future application in superconducting electronics, as well as in quantum information and computation.
