Proximity-induced superconducting features are observed over macroscopic lengths in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, which is triggered by the injection of electrical currents through superconducting electrodes. This anomaly is attributed to the pre-existing superconductivity in localized regions within the graphite material.
We report proximity-induced superconducting features over macroscopic lengths in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. The phenomenon is triggered when electrical currents are injected in the material through superconducting electrodes, few millimeters apart from each other. Such a large range is anomalous, as proximity-induced features in normal conductors hardly surpass few micrometers. The results can be explained as due to the presence of pre-existing superconductivity in graphite on small, localized regions.
