Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, we have studied the coexistent state of superconductivity and quantum hall effect (QHE) by exploiting the unique electronic property of graphene. We have established a method to lower the contact resistance between graphene and NbN (type-II superconductor) by using graphene/Ti/Nb/NbN multi-layer construction, and have confirmed the proximity-induced superconducting state coexisting with QHE in graphene at high magnetic fields. Moreover, we have developed a novel probe method for the superconducting state in graphene by utilizing optically created non-equilibrium state and its relaxation.
