Recently, we obtained evidence for superconducting pair correlation in the chiral edge states of a vanadium-doped (Bi_xSb_1−x)₂Te₃ thin film that is tuned to the quantum anomalous Hall insulator phase, by observing the negative nonlocal resistance downstream from a narrow superconducting (grounded) Nb finger electrode [1]. This negative downstream resistance is due to the crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) process, which creates superconducting correlations in the chiral edge. To further investigate the superconducting proximity effect, we are currently fabricating Josephson junction on QAHI. This is a difficult experiment because the 2D "bulk" of the QAHI is insulating and the ferromagnetism works against superconductivity. We will report the progress we have made so far by using Nb electrodes.
