Doppler shift in Andreev reflection from a moving superconducting condensate in Nb/InAs Josephson junctionsRohlfing Franziska1, •Tkachov Grigory1,2, Otto Florian1, Richter Klaus1, Weiss Dieter1, and Strunk Christoph11Universität Regensburg — 2Universität Würzburg

We present experimental and theoretical studies of narrow ballistic Josephson weak links in InAs quantum wells contacted by Nb electrodes and subject to an external magnetic field [1]. We find a dramatic magnetic-field suppression of the Andreev reflection amplitude, which occurs even for in-plane field orientation with essentially no magnetic flux through the junction. Our observations demonstrate the presence of a Doppler shift in the energy of the Andreev levels, which results from diamagnetic screening currents in the hybrid Nb/InAs banks. The data for conductance, excess and critical currents can be consistently explained by taking into accout the field- and geometry-dependent phase gradient of the superconducting order parameter and the McMillan energy, characterizing the proximity effect in the Nb/InAs banks. Our analysis suggests that a similar Doppler shift in Andreev reflection should, generally, be expected in other 2D hybrid systems such as, e.g., graphene-superconductor Josephson links [2].
