A tunneling current measurement scheme to observe Majorana-zero-mode-induced crossed Andreev reflection

Abstract

Abstract We propose a scheme to observe the Majorana-zero-mode-induced crossed Andreev reflection by measuring tunneling current directly. In this scheme a metallic ring structure is utilized to separate electron and hole signals. Since tunneling electrons and holes have different propagating wave vectors, the conditions for them to be constructively coherent in the ring differ. We find that when the magnetic flux threading the ring varies, it is possible to observe adjacent positive and negative tunneling current peaks of about equal amplitudes.
