To study and harness such hybrid devices, a key challenge is the realization of highly functional material interfaces with a suitable superconductor featuring 2e-periodic parity-conserving transport to ensure a superconducting hard-gap free of unpaired electrons, which is important for Majorana physics. A superconductor well-known for this characteristic is Al, however, its direct integration into devices based on tetradymite topological insulators has so far been found to yield non-transparent interfaces. By focusing on Bi₂Te₃-Al heterostructures, this study identifies detrimental interdiffusion processes at the interface through atomically resolved structural and chemical analysis, and showcase their mitigation by leveraging different interlayers – namely Nb, Ti, Pd, and Pt – between Bi₂Te₃ and Al. Through structural transformation of the interlayer materials (X) into their respective tellurides (XTe₂) atomically-sharp epitaxial interfaces are engineered and further characterized in low-temperature transport experiments on Al-X-Bi₂Te₃-X-Al Josephson junctions and in complementary density functional theory calculations. By demonstrating functional interfaces between Bi₂Te₃ and Al, this work provides key insights and paves the way for the next generation of sophisticated topological devices."},"Subject":"Physics","citation:Keyword":[{"keyword:Term":"topological superconductivity"},{"keyword:Term":"superconductors"},{"keyword:Term":"epitaxial interfaces"},{"keyword:Term":"interface engineering"},{"keyword:Term":"Majorana platform"},{"keyword:Term":"hybrid devices"},{"keyword:Term":"Josephson junctions"},{"keyword:Term":"TMDC"},{"keyword:Term":"topological insulator"},{"keyword:Term":"DFT"}],"Related Publication":{"Citation":"Abdur Rehman Jalil, Tobias W.
