Outline of Final Research Achievements

In atomic layer superconductors on semiconductor surfaces, the out-of-plane inversion symmetry is broken. We have investigated the superconducting phenomena when external magnetic fields break the time-reversal symmetry. We found a significant enhancement of critical field for magnetic fields applied parallel to the plane and explained the mechanism in terms of spin-momentum locking and elastic scattering of electrons. We also revealed the strange property of standing waves generated by electron scattering and interference using scanning tunneling microscopy.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

空間反転対称性の無い超伝導体が強い磁場下でも超伝導状態を維持するメカニズムを示したものであり、超伝導体をベースとした量子材料探索に生かされることが期待される。また、走査トンネル顕微鏡で観測される電子定在波がいわば「波動関数の形」に関する情報を反映していることもわかり、超伝導体に限らずさまざまな物質の電子定在波解析において重要な視点を提供すると思われる。
