The spectrum of a segment of InAs nanowire, confined between two superconducting leads, was measured as function of gate voltage and superconducting phase difference using a third normal-metal tunnel probe. Subgap resonances for odd electron occupancy-interpreted as bound states involving a confined electron and a quasiparticle from the superconducting leads, reminiscent of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states-evolve into Kondo-related resonances at higher magnetic fields. An additional zero-bias peak of unknown origin is observed to coexist with the quasiparticle bound states.
使用第三个正常金属隧道探针,测量了在两个超导引线之间限制的 InAs 纳米线的一段的能谱,作为栅极电压和超导相位差的函数。对于奇数电子占据的亚隙共振-解释为涉及受限电子和来自超导引线的准粒子的束缚态,类似于 Yu-Shiba-Rusinov 态-在更高的磁场下演变为与 Kondo 相关的共振。观察到与准粒子束缚态共存的未知起源的附加零偏压峰。
