(author), Kouwenhoven, Leo P. (author), Dvir, T. (author)The formation of a topological superconducting phase in a quantum-dot-based Kitaev chain requires nearest neighbor crossed Andreev reflection and elastic cotunneling. Here, we report on a hybrid InSb nanowire in a three-site Kitaev chain geometry - the smallest system with well-defined bulk and edge - where two superconductor-semiconductor...journal article 2024

Wang, R. (author), Liu, Huanhuan (author), Antal, Bas (author), Wolterbeek, H.T. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author)The relatively high linear energy transfer of Auger electrons, which can cause clustered DNA damage and hence efficient cell death, makes Auger emitters excellent candidates for attacking metastasized tumors. Moreover, gammas or positrons are usually emitted along with the Auger electrons, providing the possibility of theragnostic...journal article 2024

Guo, Xiaoyang (author), van de Kleut, Dick (author), Zhang, J. (author), Chen, C. (author), Wang, Xuehang (author), Zheng, Tianye (author), Boles, Steven (author)Activated carbon has long been recognized as a promising electrode material for energy storage devices. The extraordinarily high specific area makes it challenging to replace in supercapacitors since electrical double-layer capacitors need such surfaces but also porous networks to enable electrolyte penetration. As a raw material for...journal article 2024

(author), Kouwenhoven, Leo P. (author), Dvir, T. (author)The proximity effect of superconductivity on confined states in semiconductors gives rise to various bound states such as Andreev bound states, Andreev molecules, and Majorana zero modes. While such bound states do not conserve charge, their fermion parity is a good quantum number. One way to measure parity is to convert it to charge first,...journal article 2024
