The Coexistence of Superconductivity and Topological Order in the Bi 2 Se 3 Thin Films
Open accessAbstract
All Set for Majoranas: When put in the proximity of a superconductor, topological insulators (TIs) are expected to support Majorana fermions, exotic particles that are their own antiparticles. For this to be realized, the interface between the TI and superconductor layers has to be atomically sharp but electronically transparent. Wang et al. (p. 52 , published online 15 March) fabricated this heterostructure by growing a film of the TI material Bi 2 Se 3 on the superconductor NbSe 2 covered with a Bi bilayer. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy revealed a superconducting gap on the TI surface of the heterostructure with varying thickness of the Bi 2 Se 3 film. This coexistence of superconductivity and topological order should now allow observation of exotic phenomena such as Majorana fermions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
