Crossed Andreev reflection in 3d TI-superconductor nanowire hybrid systems — •Michael Barth, Jacob Fuchs, Cosimo Gorini, and Klaus Richter — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Regensburg, Germany

3d topological insulator (TI) nanowires are materials with helical surface states which are protected by time-reversal symmetry [1]. By bringing a normal s-wave superconductor into close proximity to such a wire one can create a topologically non-trivial superconducting state. Furthermore, in such hybrid systems of normal and superconducting materials the process of crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) [2] can occur. This is the effect we are interested in and therefore we are studying quantum transport in a 3d T-junction of normal TIs and a topological superconductor with additional external magnetic fields. Even though in 2d TI systems this phenomenon can be fully suppressed [3], our full 3d numerical simulations show clear signatures of CAR. Moreover in our setup the CAR can in principle be tuned by the external magnetic fields.
