Topological materials, hosting topological nontrivial electronic band, have attracted widespread attentions. As an application of topology in physics, the discovery and study of topological materials not only enrich the existing theoretical framework of physics, but also provide fertile ground for investigations on low energy excitations, such as Weyl fermions and Majorana fermions, which have not been observed yet as fundamental particles. These quasiparticles with exotic physical properties make topological materials the cutting edge of scientific research and a new favorite of high tech. As a typical example, Majorana fermions, predicted to exist in the edge state of topological superconductors, are proposed to implement topological error-tolerant quantum computers. Thus, the detection of topological superconductivity has become a frontier in condensed matter physics and materials science. Here, we review a way to detect topological superconductivity triggered by the hard point contact: tip-induced superconductivity (TISC) and tip-enhanced superconductivity (TESC). The TISC refers to the superconductivity induced by a non-superconducting tip at the point contact on non-superconducting materials. We take the elaboration of the chief experimental achievement of TISC in topological Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 and Weyl semimetal TaAs as key components of this article for detecting topological superconductivity. Moreover, we also briefly introduce the main results of another exotic effect, TESC, in superconducting Au2Pb and Sr2RuO4 single crystals, which are respectively proposed as the candidates of helical topological superconductor and chiral topological superconductor. Related results and the potential mechanism are conducive to improving the comprehension of how to induce and enhance the topological superconductivity.

尖端诱导或增强的超导性:一种检测拓扑超导性的方法

承载拓扑非平凡电子能带的拓扑材料引起了人们的广泛关注。作为拓扑学在物理学中的应用,拓扑材料的发现和研究不仅丰富了现有的物理学理论框架,也为低能激发的研究提供了沃土,如外尔费米子和马约拉纳费米子等尚未被观测到的物质。但作为基本粒子。这些具有奇异物理特性的准粒子使拓扑材料成为科学研究的前沿和高科技的新宠。作为一个典型的例子,马约拉纳费米子被预测存在于拓扑超导体的边缘状态,被提议用于实现拓扑容错量子计算机。因此,拓扑超导的探测已成为凝聚态物理和材料科学的前沿领域。在这里,我们回顾了一种检测由硬点接触触发的拓扑超导性的方法:尖端诱导超导性 (TISC) 和尖端增强超导性 (TESC)。TISC 是指非超导尖端在非超导材料上的点接触处引起的超导性。我们以TISC在拓扑狄拉克半金属Cd方面的主要实验成果的阐述 TISC 是指非超导尖端在非超导材料上的点接触处引起的超导性。我们以TISC在拓扑狄拉克半金属Cd方面的主要实验成果的阐述 TISC 是指非超导尖端在非超导材料上的点接触处引起的超导性。我们以TISC在拓扑狄拉克半金属Cd方面的主要实验成果的阐述3 As 2和外尔半金属TaAs作为本文的关键组分用于检测拓扑超导性。此外,我们还简要介绍了另一种奇异效应TESC在超导Au 2 Pb和Sr 2 RuO 4单晶中的主要结果,它们分别被提出作为螺旋拓扑超导体和手性拓扑超导体的候选者。相关结果和潜在机制有助于提高对如何诱导和增强拓扑超导性的理解。
