Phase coherent transport in Kondo/superconducting hybrid structures

Abstract

We present measurements of the transport properties of hybrid structures consisting of a Kondo AuFe film and a superconducting Al film. The temperature dependence of the resistance indicates the existence of the superconducting proximity effect in the Kondo AuFe wires over the range of 0.5 μm. Electronic phase coherence in the Kondo AuFe wires has been confirmed by observing the Aharanov-Bohm effect in the magnetoresistance of the loop structure. The amplitude of the magnetoresistance oscillations shows a reentrant behavior with a maximum at 870 mK, which results from an interplay between the Kondo effect and the superconducting proximity effect.
