摘要
We have contacted single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) grown by chemical vapour deposition to superconducting Ti/Al/Ti electrodes. The device we here report on is in the Kondo regime exhibiting a fourfold shell structure, where a clear signature of the superconducting electrodes is observed below the critical temperature. Multiple Andreev reflections are revealed by sub-gap structure and a narrow peak in the differential conductance around zero bias is seen depending on the shell filling. We interpret the peak as a proximity induced supercurrent and examine its interplay with Kondo resonances.
