Tunneling spectroscopy of superconducting InxSn1−xTe nano-plates — •Fan Yang, Mengmeng Bai, Zhiwei Wang, and Yoichi Ando — Institute of Physics II, University of Cologne, Zuelpicher Str. 77, 50937 Cologne, Germany

With indium doping, superconductivity can be induced in SnTe, a well-known topological crystalline insulator. Due to the possible co-existence of superconductivity and non-trivial band topology, InxSn1−xTe provides a promising platform for searching for topological superconductivity.

In this talk, we present our study on the point-contact spectroscopy of superconducting InxSn1−xTe nanostructures. InxSn1−xTe nano-plates were grown on Si/SiO2 substrates via vapor-transport method. After the growth, Au contacts with naturally formed tunnel barrier were fabricated on selected nano-plates. The conductance spectra of Au contacts were measured in a dilution refrigerator, and non-trivial sub-gap features were observed in several Au contacts at the tunnel limit. The preliminary results are presented and discussed.
