AbstractWe used the topological insulator (TI) Bi2Te3 and a high-temperature superconductor (HTSC) hybrid device for investigations of proximity-induced superconductivity (PS) in the TI. Application of the superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) enabled us to access higher temperature and energy scales for this phenomenon. The HTSC in the hybrid device exhibits emergence of a pseudogap state for T > Tc that converts into a superconducting state with a reduced gap for T < Tc. The conversion process has been reflected in Raman spectra collected from the TI. Complementary charge transport experiments revealed emergence of the proximity-induced superconducting gap in the TI and the reduced superconducting gap in the HTSC, but no signature of the pseudogap. This allowed us to conclude that Raman spectroscopy reveals formation of the pseudogap state but cannot distinguish the proximity-induced superconducting state in the TI from the superconducting state in the HTSC characterised by the reduced gap. Results of our experiments have shown that Raman spectroscopy is a complementary technique to classic charge transport experiments and is a powerful tool for investigation of the proximity-induced superconductivity in the Bi2Te3.

Effect of proximity-induced unconventional p-wave superconductivity in a three-dimensional topological insulator-based S/F/S structure on the Andreev bound states (ABSs) and Josephson supercurrent is studied. We investigate, in detail, the suppression of Andreev reflection and helical ABSs in the presence of three types of triplet superconducting gap. The magnetization of ferromagnetic section is perpendicular to the surface of junction. The influence of such features on the supercurrent flow on the surface of the topological insulator is studied. We carry out our goal by introducing a relevant form of Dirac spinors for gapless renormalized by chemical potential μ excitation states. Therefore, it enables us to consider the virtual Andreev process, simultaneously, and we propose to investigate it in a tunneling conductance junction. It is shown that the results obtained in this case are completely different from those in conventional superconductivity, as s- or d-waves, for example, the magnetization is found to decrease the gap for px and px+ipy case, whereas increase it for py order. Strongly suppressed Andreev reflection is demonstrated.
