Hybrid structures of semi-metals, excitonic insulators and superconductors — •Dario Bercioux1,2 and Sebastian Bergeret1,31Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), E-20018 San Sebastián, Spain — 2IKERBASQUE, Basque Foundation of Science, 48011 Bilbao, Spain — 3Centro de Física de Materiales (CFM-MPC) Centro Mixto CSIC-UPV/EHU, E-20018 Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain

Excitonic insulars are a condensate phase of matter investigated since the sixties [1]. They remain so far an elusive phase in solid state systems. Recent experiments on HgTe quantum wells with a width of circa 20 nm [2] hints at their observation. However, there is no common agreement on this point [3]. Combinations of excitonic insulators with superconductors should show evidence of Andreev processes due to the combination of two different type of condensates [4]. Here, we present results for hybrid structures combining semi-metals, excitonic insulators and superconductors and discuss phenomena related to the interplay between the two distinct condensates.
