Superconducting Sweet-Spot in Microcrystalline Graphite Revealed by Point-Contact Spectroscopy
read the original abstract
In this letter we describe the observation of a magnetic field dependent electronic gap, suggestive of local superconductivity, in the point-contact spectrum of micro-crystalline graphite. Magnetic field dependent point-contact spectroscopy was carried out at a temperature of $1.8\,\mathrm{K}$ using an etched aluminium tip. At zero field a gap structure in the differential conductance is observed, showing a gap of $\Delta = 4.2\,\mathrm{meV}$. On applying magnetic fields of up to $500\,\mathrm{mT}$, this gap gradually closes, following the theoretical prediction by Ginzburg and Landau for a fully flux-penetrated superconductor. By applying BCS-theory, we infer a critical superconducting temperature of $14\,\mathrm{K}$.

Topological charge of fermions and Landau theory of Fermi liquid
The particle charge of a fermion is equivalent to its topological charge, which underpins the stability of the Fermi surface, the applicability of Landau Fermi liquid theory, and the Luttinger theorem in insulators.
