Quantized Andreev conductance in semiconductor nanowires

Y Gao, W Song, Y Wang, Z Geng, Z Cao, Z Yu… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Clean one-dimensional electron systems can exhibit quantized conductance. The plateau
conductance doubles if the transport is dominated by Andreev reflection. Here, we report …

Anisotropy of PbTe nanowires with and without a superconductor

Z Li, W Song, S Zhang, Y Wang, Z Wang, Z Yu… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2025 - arxiv.org
We investigate the anisotropic behaviors in PbTe and PbTe-Pb hybrid nanowires. In
previous studies on PbTe, wire-to-wire variations in anisotropy indicate poor device control …

Robust zero modes in PbTe-Pb hybrid nanowires

S Zhang, W Song, Z Li, Z Yu, R Li, Y Wang… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2025 - arxiv.org
Majorana zero modes in tunneling conductance are expected to manifest as robust zero
bias peaks (ZBPs). While ZBPs alone are not conclusive evidence of Majorana modes due …
