Topological materials, such as topological insulators, Weyl semimetals, and strongly spin-orbit coupled semiconductors, have attracted considerable attention due to their potential in spin electronics and quantum computation.A recent development are hybrid superconductor-semiconductor systems, which can support zero energy Majorana modes.
In this project we will fabricate devices superconductor-semiconductor and superconductor-2D devices using electron beam lithography, and study their quantum transport properties at ultra-low temperatures to search for topological modes.
