Observation of the Superconducting Proximity Effect in the Surface State of SmB_{6} Thin Films
The proximity effect at the interface between a topological insulator and a superconductor is predicted to give rise to chiral topological superconductivity and Majorana fermion excitations. In most topological insulators studied to date, however, the conducting bulk states have overwhelmed the tran...
