SC-1 etching of Nb and TiN thin films
Abstract Dry etching techniques, ubiquitous in microelectronics fabrication, often result in challenging levels of undesired collateral plasma-induced damage. In this work, we demonstrate a wet etchin…

Read MoreAbstract We predict thermoelectric and current rectification effects in hybrid junctions formed by Ising superconductors and materials hosting valley-polarized states. Both effects originate from the …
Read MoreAbstract Surface states of topological insulators feature chiral spin-momentum locking. When such states are used as weak link between two superconductors, their spin texture gives rise to the anomalo…
Read MoreAbstract We show that vortices with circulating current, related with odd-frequency triplet pairing, appear in Josephson junctions where the barrier is a weak ferromagnet with strong spin-orbit coupli…
Read MoreAbstract Two-dimensional arrays of ballistic Josephson junctions are important as model systems for synthetic quantum materials. Here, we investigate arrays of multiterminal junctions which exhibit a …
Read MoreAbstract While extensively studied in normal metals, semimetals, and semiconductors, the superconducting (SC) proximity effect remains elusive in the emerging field of flat-band systems. In this study…
Read MoreAbstract We analyze the properties of flat-band superconductor junctions that behave differently from ordinary junctions containing only metals with Fermi surfaces. In particular, we show how in the t…
Read MoreAbstract The superconducting diode effect is an asymmetry in the critical current with respect to the supercurrent polarity. One impetus driving recent interest in the effect is its dependence on intr…
Read MoreAbstract We describe a numerical approach to modeling magnetoelectric effects generated by spin-orbit coupling in inhomogeneous diffusive two-dimensional (2D) superconductors. It is based on direct mi…
Read MoreAbstract We characterize the superconducting diode effect (SDE) in two-dimensional diffusive structures with Rashba spin-orbit coupling using the quasiclassical formalism. We consider both homogeneous…
Read MoreAbstract Electrostatically tunable Josephson field-effect transistors (JoFETs) are one of the most desired building blocks of quantum electronics. Applications of JoFETs range from parametric amplifie…
Read MoreAbstract In Josephson diodes the asymmetry between positive and negative current branch of the current-phase relation leads to a polarity-dependent critical current and Josephson inductance. The super…
Read MoreAbstract We consider the finite-frequency response of multiterminal Josephson junctions and show how nonreciprocity in them can show up at linear response, in contrast to the static Josephson diodes f…
