Majorana fermion induced resonant Andreev reflection.
We describe experimental signatures of Majorana fermion edge states, which form at the interface between a superconductor and the surface of a topological insulator. If a lead couples to the Majorana fermions through electron tunneling, the Majorana fermions induce resonant Andreev reflections from the lead to the grounded superconductor. The linear tunneling conductance is 0 (2e(2)/h) if there...
متن کاملAndreev reflection resonant tunneling through a precessing spin
We investigate Andreev reflection (AR) resonant tunneling through a precessing spin which is coupled to a normal metallic lead and a superconducting lead. The formula of the AR conductance at zero temperature is obtained as a function of chemical potential and azimuthal angle of the spin precessing by using the nonequilibrium Green function method. It is found that as the local spin precesses i...
متن کاملExtraordinary Temperature Dependence of the Resonant Andreev Reflection
An extraordinary temperature dependence of the resonant Andreev reflection via discrete energy level in a normal-metal / quantum-dot / superconductor (N-QD-S) system is predicted theoretically by using Green function technique. The width of zero bias conductance peak in N-QD-S is about √ ΓL + Γ 2 R and does not exhibit thermal broadening, where ΓL and ΓR are the coupling strength between QD and...
متن کاملInteraction-induced renormalization of Andreev reflection.
We analyze the charge transport between a one-dimensional weakly interacting electron gas and a superconductor within the scaling approach in the basis of scattering states. We derive the renormalization group equations, which fully account for the intrinsic energy dependence due to Andreev reflection. A strong renormalization of the corresponding reflection phase is predicted even for a perfec...
متن کاملSelective equal-spin Andreev reflections induced by Majorana fermions.
In this work, we find that Majorana fermions induce selective equal spin Andreev reflections (SESARs), in which incoming electrons with certain spin polarization in the lead are reflected as counterpropagating holes with the same spin. The spin polarization direction of the electrons of this Andreev reflected channel is selected by the Majorana fermions. Moreover, electrons with opposite spin p...
