Abstract

Superconducting proximity coupled topological surface state is theoretically expected to exhibit topological superconductivity. In this chapter, to study the unique characteristics of the superconductivity, we focus on the interfacial superconductivity of Bi\(_2\)Te\(_3\)/FeTe. The nonreciprocal measurement is shown to be largely enhanced below the superconducting temperature, which is attributed to the interplay between spin-momentum locking and superconductivity.
