โฆ Synopsis
We experimentally investigated electrical transport in thin graphite films about 10 nm thick connected to superconducting leads. Proximity-induced superconductivity was observed and the critical supercurrent strongly depends on the gate voltage. From the maximum-to-minimum ratios of the critical supercurrent and the normal state resistance, we conclude that the major part of the supercurrent flows in a few graphene layers close to the gate electrode.

In the junction of a superconductor (S) and a normal conductor (N), the superconducting proximity effect arises, and the transition temperature (T c ) and critical field (H c ) of S/N bilayer usually lower from those in the superconductor itself รฐT s c ; H s c ร. However, in the niobium/graphite cor
