VOLUME 88 | ISSUE 11 | PAGE 862 Proximity-induced superconductivity in graphene M. V. Feigel'man, M. A. Skvortsov, K. S. Tikhonov L.D. Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics RAS, 119334 Moscow, Russia Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, 141700 Moscow, Russia PACS: 74.20.-z, 74.78.-w, 74.81.-g Abstract We propose a way of making graphene superconductive by putting on it small superconductive islands which cover a tiny fraction of graphene area. We show that the critical temperature, Tc, can reach several Kelvins at the experimentally accessible range of parameters. At low temperatures, , and zero magnetic field, the density of states is characterized by a small gap resulting from the collective proximity effect. Transverse magnetic field is expected to destroy the spectral gap driving graphene layer to a kind of a superconductive glass state. Melting of the glass state into a metal occurs at a higher field Hg2(T). Download PS file (GZipped, 231.2K)  |  Download PDF file (293K) Список работ, цитирующих данную статью, см. здесь.
