Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated "Rashba superconductor," where superconductivity takes place in the energy bands exhibiting the Rashba effect, in atomic-layer materials grown on semiconductor surfaces. We performed transport measurement of the Si(111)-(√7×√3)-In superconductor in magnetic fields parallel and perpendicular to the surface. The estimated critical field at zero temperature was found to be larger than the Pauli limit of 6 T determined from the critical temperature of 3 K. Our ab initio calculations revealed the spin splitting of the energy bands. These results show that this material is a Rashba superconductor.
