Supercurrent reversal in quantum dots

When two superconductors are electrically connected by a weak link--such as a tunnel barrier--a zero-resistance supercurrent can flow. This supercurrent is carried by Cooper pairs of electrons with a combined charge of twice the elementary charge, e. The 2e charge quantum is clearly visible in the height of voltage steps in Josephson junctions under microwave irradiation, and in the magnetic flux periodicity of h/2e (where h is Planck's constant) in superconducting quantum interference devices. Here we study supercurrents through a quantum dot created in a semiconductor nanowire by local electrostatic gating. Owing to strong Coulomb interaction, electrons only tunnel one-by-one through the discrete energy levels of the quantum dot. This nevertheless can yield a supercurrent when subsequent tunnel events are coherent. These quantum coherent tunnelling processes can result in either a positive or a negative supercurrent, that is, in a normal or a pi-junction, respectively. We demonstrate that the supercurrent reverses sign by adding a single electron spin to the quantum dot. When excited states of the quantum dot are involved in transport, the supercurrent sign also depends on the character of the orbital wavefunctions.     

甘肃窑街侏罗纪Yuchoulepis szechuanensis Su的发现及地质学意义

对甘肃中侏罗统窑街组油页岩段中的四川渝州鱼化石进行了初步研究，认为该油页岩段的形成时代应为中侏罗世阿林期(Aalenian)——巴柔期(Bajocian)．并利用埋藏学和现代湖泊学的研究，结合含鱼化石上、下地层中生物类群的特点，推测了当时鱼群生活的环境及其死亡原因，论证了此期的气候特点为温暖潮湿性．
