Josephson Coupling in Junctions Made of Monolayer Graphene Grown on SiC
Journal article, 2016

Chemical vapor deposition has proved to be successful in producing graphene samples on silicon carbide (SiC) homogeneous at the centimeter scale in terms of Hall conductance quantization. Here, we report on the realization of co-planar diffusive Al/ monolayer graphene/ Al junctions on the same graphene sheet, with separations between the electrodes down to 200 nm. Robust Josephson coupling has been measured for separations not larger than 300 nm. Transport properties are reproducible on different junctions and indicate that graphene on SiC substrates is a concrete candidate to provide scalability of hybrid Josephson graphene/superconductor devices.
