Winkler, Georg W. (author), Antipov, Andrey E. (author), van Heck, B. (author), Soluyanov, Alexey A. (author), Glazman, Leonid I. (author), Wimmer, M.T. (author), Lutchyn, Roman M. (author)We develop a unified numerical approach for modeling semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures. All the key physical ingredients of these systems - orbital effect of magnetic field, superconducting proximity effect, and electrostatic environment - are taken into account on equal footing in a realistic device geometry. As a model system,...journal article 2019

Antipov, Andrey E. (author), Bargerbos, A. (author), Winkler, Georg W. (author), Bauer, Bela (author), Rossi, Enrico (author), Lutchyn, Roman M. (author)We study the effect of gate-induced electric fields on the properties of semiconductor-superconductor hybrid nanowires which represent a promising platform for realizing topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes. Using a self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson approach that describes the semiconductor and the superconductor on equal...journal article 2018

(author)We study the effect of external electric fields on superconductor-semiconductor coupling by measuring the electron transport in InSb semiconductor nanowires coupled to an epitaxially grown Al superconductor. We find that the gate voltage induced electric fields can greatly modify the coupling strength, which has consequences for the proximity...journal article 2018
