A Numerical Study of the Superconducting Proximity Effect in Topological Surface States — •Roland Grein1,2, Jens Michelsen1, and Matthias Eschrig21Institut für Theoretische Festkörperphysik and DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, D-76128 Karlsruhe, Germany — 2SEPnet and Hubbard Theory Consortium, Department of Physics, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, United Kingdom

We study a microcopic model to investigate the superconducting proximity effect in the topological surface states of Bi2Se3 by means of the recursive Green’s function technique. We find that the phenomenological Fu-Kane model, usually used to describe the proximity effect in these states, breaks down at energies close to the superconducting bulk-gap and in the case of strong coupling between the topological insulator and the superconductor[1].
