Recent Publications


Fermi Velocity Dependent Critical Current in Ballistic Bilayer Graphene Josephson Junctions.

Journal Article ACS nanoscience Au · April 2025 We perform transport measurements on proximitized, ballistic, bilayer graphene Josephson junctions (BGJJs) in the intermediate-to-long junction regime (L > ξ). We measure the device's differential resistance as a function of bias current and gate vo ... Full text Cite

Thermal Properties of the Superconductor-Quantum Hall Interface.

Journal Article Physical review letters · February 2025 An important route of engineering topological states and excitations is to combine superconductors (SC) with the quantum Hall (QH) effect, and over the past decade, significant progress has been made in this direction. While typical measurements of these s ... Full text Cite

Multiplet Supercurrents in a Josephson Circuit.

Journal Article Physical review letters · February 2025 Multiterminal Josephson circuits have been proposed as a promising platform to host synthetic topological phases of matter, Floquet states, and multiplet supercurrents that are mediated by pairs of Cooper pairs. Here, we explore a Josephson circuit in whic ... Full text Cite
