Emergence of Bogoliubov Fermi Surfaces in hybrid Al/InAs heterostructures

Abstract

We investigate the microwave electrodynamics of a proximitized two-dimensional electron gas in hybrid superconductor/semiconductor heterostructures. Using lumped-element resonators with inductor wires oriented relative to an in-plane magnetic field, we directly probe the superfluid stiffness via the kinetic inductance. As the field increases, the resonance frequency exhibits a non-monotonic and strongly anisotropic evolution that cannot be explained by orbital pair breaking alone. We show that this behavior is consistent with the emergence of Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces, which selectively suppress the supercurrent response depending on the direction of the magnetic field. Microscopic calculations of the stiffness tensor capture the observed anisotropy driven by the interplay of Zeeman and orbital Fulde-Ferrell effects. Our results establish microwave stiffness measurements as a sensitive probe of anisotropic gapless superconductivity in hybrid systems.
