Electronic conduction and superconducting properties of CoSi_2 films on silicon–an unconventional superconductor with technological potential
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We report observations of unusual normal-state electronic conduction
properties and superconducting characteristics of high-quality CoSi_2/Si
films grown on silicon Si(100) and Si(111) substrates. A good understanding of
these features shall help to address the underlying physics of the
unconventional pairing symmetry recently observed in transparent
CoSi_2/TiSi_2 heterojunctions [S. P. Chiu et al., Sci. Adv.
7, eabg6569 (2021); Nanoscale 15, 9179 (2023)], where
CoSi_2/Si is a superconductor with a superconducting transition temperature
T_c ≃ (1.1–1.5) K, dependent on its dimensions, and TiSi_2 is a
normal metal. In CoSi_2/Si films, we find a pronounced positive
magnetoresistance caused by the weak-antilocalization effect, indicating a
strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC). This SOC generates two-component
superconductivity in CoSi_2/TiSi_2 heterojunctions. The CoSi_2/Si films
are stable under ambient conditions and have ultralow 1/f noise. Moreover,
they can be patterned via the standard lithography techniques, which might be
of considerable practical value for future scalable superconducting and quantum
device fabrication.
