TITLE: An Unconventional Approach to Topological Superconductivity
TITLE: There is keen interest in finding new states of matter at the interface between topological and superconducting materials. Exfoliation and van-der-Waals heterostructures have opened entirely new routes to this pursuit, with most efforts focused on conventional s-wave superconductors. In this talk, I will discuss a related method our group has developed enabling a proximity effect between high Tc cuprate superconductors and various Dirac materials. In addition to providing evidence for the proximity effect, I will discuss new excitations we have observed at the interface between topological materials and high Tc cuprates as well as Fe chalcogenides.
