Abstract:
Superconductor-semiconductor hybrid nanowire system is one of the leading platforms for studying emergent sub-gap states with variant topological orders. Here, I will give a brief review on the exploration of midgap states emerged in full-epitaxy hybrid nanowires. The ultra-clean SC-SM interface gives rise to high quality Andreev bound states, which can coalesce to Majorana bound states in the presence of spin-orbit field and Zeeman field. The effective g-factor and estimation of non-locality of those subgap states have been systematically investigated as well. I will also discuss how Andreev bound states in a superconductor ring evolves as a function of magnetic flux.
