Probing an isolated Majorana zero mode is predicted to reveal a tunneling conductance quantized at 2e^{2}/h at zero temperature. Experimentally, a zero-bias peak (ZBP) is expected and its height should remain robust against relevant parameter tuning, forming a quantized plateau. Here, we report the observation of large ZBPs in a thin InAs-Al hybrid nanowire device. The ZBP height can stick close to 2e^{2}/h, mostly within 5% tolerance, by sweeping gate voltages and magnetic field. We further map out the phase diagram and identify two plateau regions in the phase space. Despite the presence of disorder and quantum dots, our result constitutes a step forward toward establishing Majorana zero modes.
据预测,探测一个孤立的马约拉纳零模会在零温度下揭示出隧穿电导量子化至2e²/h。在实验中,预计会出现零偏压峰(ZBP),并且其高度应在相关参数调整下保持稳定,形成一个量子化平台。在此,我们报告在一个薄的InAs - Al混合纳米线器件中观察到大型ZBP。通过扫描栅极电压和磁场,ZBP高度可以紧密接近2e²/h,大多在5%的容差范围内。我们进一步绘制了相图,并在相空间中识别出两个平台区域。尽管存在无序和量子点,我们的结果朝着确立马约拉纳零模迈出了一步。
