Planar Josephson junction (JJs) provide an attractive platform to realize topological superconductivity and implement fault-tolerant quantum computing [1,2]. By embedding two gate-tunable Al/InAs JJs in a loop geometry, we measure a π jump in the junction phase with an increasing in-plane magnetic field [3]. This jump is accompanied by a minimum of the critical current, indicating a closing...
In general, the critical current (Ic) in a conventional Josephson junction (JJ) is independent of the current sweeping directions, when either time reversal symmetry (TRS) or inversion symmetry is presented. However, when both symmetries are broken, Ic can display different values, thus the Josephson diode effect (JDE), depending on the direction of current being swept. Like the diode effect...
The magnetic and dielectric/ferroelectric properties couple to each other in magnetolectric materials. The magnetic field can influence and manipulate the electric polarization and/or the electric field influences and manipulates the magnetization in a material. ME is attractive from an applications perspective in insulating materials because large power dissipation due to electric currents is...
