We discuss electric transport through a point contact which bridges Majorana fermion modes appearing at edges of two helical superconductors. The contents focus on the effects of interference and interaction unique to the Majorana fermions and the role of spin-orbit interaction (SOI). Besides the Josephson current, the quasiparticle conductance depends sensitively on the phase difference and relative helicity between the two superconductors. The interaction among the Majorana fermions causes the power-law temperature dependences of conductance for various tunneling channels. Especially, in the presence of SOI, the conductance always increases as the temperature is lowered.
我们讨论了通过连接两个螺旋超导边缘处出现的马约拉纳费米子模式的点接触的电子输运。内容集中在马约拉纳费米子特有的干涉和相互作用的影响以及自旋轨道相互作用(SOI)的作用。除了约瑟夫森电流外,准粒子电导还对两个超导体内的相位差和相对螺旋度敏感。马约拉纳费米子之间的相互作用导致各种隧道通道的电导呈现幂律温度依赖性。特别是,在存在 SOI 的情况下,电导总是随着温度的降低而增加。
