title = "Scanning tunneling microscopy of superconducting topological surface states in Bi2Se3",
abstract = "In this Rapid Communication we present scanning tunneling microscopy of a large Bi2Se3 crystal with superconducting PbBi islands deposited on the surface. Local density of states measurements are consistent with induced superconductivity in the topological surface state with a coherence length of order 540 nm. At energies above the gap the density of states exhibits oscillations due to scattering caused by a nonuniform order parameter. Strikingly, the spectra taken on islands also display similar oscillations along with traces of the Dirac cone, suggesting an inverse topological proximity effect.",
