Large superconducting diode effect in ion-beam patterned Sn-based superconductor nanowire/topological Dirac semimetal planar heterostructures.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
High-quality superconductor/topological material heterostructures are highly desired for realisation of topological superconductivity and Majorana physics. Here, we demonstrate a method to directly draw nanoscale superconducting β-Sn patterns in the plane of a topological Dirac semimetal (TDS) α-Sn thin film by irradiating a focused ion beam and taking advantage of the heat-driven phase transition of α-Sn into superconducting β-Sn. The β-Sn nanowires embedded in a TDS α-Sn thin film exhibit a large superconducting diode effect (SDE), whose rectification ratio η reaches a maximum of 35% when the magnetic field is applied parallel to the current. The results suggest that the SDE may occur at the α-Sn/β-Sn interfaces where the TDS α-Sn becomes superconducting by a proximity effect. Our work thus provides a universal platform for investigating quantum physics and devices based on topological superconducting circuits of any shape.
