Interdisciplinary team demonstrates superconducting qualities of topological insulators

An interdisciplinary research team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in collaboration with researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science Department, has measured superconductive surface states in TIs where the bulk charge carriers were successfully depleted. Findings may prove useful in search for elusive Majorana quasiparticle.
