Metal-Quantum Dot-Topological Superconductor Junction: Kondo correlations and Majorana Bound States
Abstract
Electron transport through [normal metal]-[quantum dot]-[topological superconductor] junction is studied and reveals interlacing physics of Kondo correlations with two Majorana fermions bound state residing on the opposite edges of the topological superconductor. When the strength of the Majorana fermion coupling exceeds the temperature T, this combination of Kono-Majorana fermion physics can be observed: The usual peak of the temperature dependent zero biased conductance σ(V=0,T) splits and the conductance has a dip at T=0. The height of the conductance side-peaks decreases with magnetic field.
