Spin-filtered measurements of Andreev bound states in semiconductor-superconductor nanowire devices

Andreev bound states can form in hybrid semiconducting-superconducting devices and can mirror the experimental signatures of the much sought topologically non-trivial Majorana bound states. Here, van Driel, Wang and coauthors present a method of directly measuring the spin-polarized excitation spectrum of Andreev bound states.

Enhanced Majorana stability in a three-site Kitaev chain

A three-site Kitaev chain, constructed from three semiconducting quantum dots coupled by superconducting segments in a hybrid InSb/Al nanowire, shows enhanced robustness of edge zero-energy modes against variations in the coupling strengths or electrochemical potentials compared with a chain containing only two quantum dots.

Robust poor man’s Majorana zero modes using Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states

A Kitaev chain formed by two quantum dots coupled via a superconductor support the so-called poor man’s Majorana bound states. Here, the authors form a minimal Kitaev chain using Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states and show that the resulting bound states are more robust than in the case of unproximitized quantum dots.

A quantum dot in germanium proximitized by a superconductor

The authors achieve gate-controlled proximitization of a quantum dot in a planar germanium heterostructure, an isotopically purifiable group IV material. A patterned Pt germanosilicide superconductor is introduced via a thermally activated reaction.

Maximum levels of global phylogenetic diversity efficiently capture plant services for humankind

Maximum levels of global plant phylogenetic diversity capture more human benefits and at higher diversity levels than does random selection of taxa.

Electrostatic control of the proximity effect in the bulk of semiconductor-superconductor hybrids

The proximity effect in semiconductor-superconductor nanowires is expected to generate an induced gap in the semiconductor. Here, the authors study the superconducting proximity effect in InSb nanowires with an Al/Pt shell, demonstrating control of the induced gap using electric and magnetic fields.

Realization of a minimal Kitaev chain in coupled quantum dots

A minimal artificial Kitaev chain can be realized by using two spin-polarized quantum dots in an InSb nanowire strongly coupled by both elastic co-tunnelling and crossed Andreev reflection.

A Solar cycle correlation of coronal element abundances in Sun-as-a-star observations

The Sun’s elemental composition is a vital part of understanding the processes that transport energy from the interior to the outer atmosphere. Here, the authors show that if the Sun is observed as a star, then the variation of coronal composition is highly correlated with the F10.7cm radio flux.

Visualizing the non-equilibrium dynamics of photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer with femtosecond X-ray pulses

Photoinduced electron transfer in solvated molecular assemblies occurs on the ultrafast timescale before full electronic and geometric relaxation take place. Here Canton et al.monitor this out-of-equilibrium process in a donor–acceptor bimetallic assembly using an X-ray free-electron laser.
