Experiment and modelling of InAs/Al planar junctions with patterned holes in the superconducting contacts. Electrostatic depletion reshapes quasiparticle wave functions and enhances finite-field supercurrent, providing a device-engineering route toward better topological-junction parameters.
Key Results
- Patterned superconducting coverage and gates tune interface wave-function matching.
- Finite-field supercurrent is enhanced after depleting the patterned region.
- The work targets subband count and topological-gap optimization; it is not a Majorana or qubit demonstration.
