Superconductivity in Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes Proximity effect and nonlocal transport / by Pablo Burset Atienza.

The unique electronic band structure of graphene gives rise to remarkable properties when in contact with a superconducting electrode. In this thesis two main aspects of these junctions are analyzed: the induced superconducting proximity effect and the non-local transport properties in multi-termina...
