The effects of coupling Kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5 with a s-wave superconductor

ORAL

Abstract

We report the effects of coupling a Kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5 with an external s-wave superconductor. We prepared nanodevices from exfoliated CsV3Sb5 crystals with niobium (Nb) electrodes (Tc sim 8 K). The proximitized edge mode was manifested as periodic modulations of critical current in the differential resistance spectra dV/dI of the devices at varying applied biases I and fields muH. [1] Surprisingly, the period of modulations exceeded what corresponded to the physical area by a factor of four and remained consistent throughout. Moreover, cuts of the differential resistance spectra at zero bias exhibited antihysteric changes of resistance, a signature of incompatibility between two superconducting condensates probed through edge mode.
