Detecting Majorana Fermion Induced Crossed Andreev Reflection, Lei Fang
Detecting Majorana Fermion Induced Crossed Andreev Reflection, Lei Fang
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation is devoted to a study of detecting the Majorana fermion induced crossed Andreev reflection.
Majorana fermions are particles that constitute their own antiparticles. In condensed matter physics, Majorana fermions are zero energy modes that reside at edges or around vortices of topological superconductors. The special properties of Majorana fermions result in their potential to conduct topological quantum computation, which has been attracting a lot of current research. One of the most important issues in the field of the Majorana fermion physics now is to detect their existence in realistic systems. Among many classes of detecting methods, a transport …

Recently, the electron transport through a quasi-one dimensional (quasi-1D) electron gas was investigated experimentally as a function of the confining potential. We present a physical model for quantum ballistic transport of electrons through a short conduction channel, and investigate the role played by the Coulomb interaction in modifying the energy levels of twoelectron states at low temperatures as the width of the channel is increased. In this regime, the effect of the Coulomb interaction on the two-electron states has been shown to lead to four split energy levels, including two anticrossings and two crossinglevel states. Due to the interplay between …
