We aim to integrate “Superconductivity” and “Ferromagnetism” onto a single semiconductor platform, by developing heterostructures of s-wave superconductors (SC) and Fe-doped ferromagnetic semiconductors (FMS). It has been predicted that there exist Majorana bound states, novel topological states that are the anti-particle of themself, which are the holygrails of topological quantum computing. By omitting the necessity of applying external magnetic field, our system is unique in the field and promising for scalable quantum computation.
We are conducting epitaxial growth and structural characterizations of the SC/FMS systems, fabrication of nanosize junction structures, and measurements at ultralow (mK) temperature.
