Majorana bound state signatures on the magnetic flux-dependent zero bias conductance — •Cajetan Heinz1, Patrik Recher1,2, and Fernando Dominguez11Institute of Mathematical Physics, Technical University of Braunschweig, D-38106 Braunschweig, Germany — 2Laboratory for Emerging Nanometrology Braunschweig, D-38106 Braunschweig, Germany

We propose a theoretical framework designed to unravel the p-wave character of the Majorana bound state (MBS) through an analysis of the periodicity in the flux-dependent zero-bias conductance. Our goal is to obtain an experimentally detectable signal that cannot be mimicked by zero energy Andreev bound states. We use a tight-binding model that describes a quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) - topological superconductor junction, where a MBS is expected to form at the NS boundary. By applying a magnetic flux, we explore the scattering processes of the QSHI edge states with the MBS. This configuration manifests distinct indicators of a topological non-trivial phase even in the presence of non-zero temperatures and weak coupling between the superconductor and the normal part. Additionally, we employ a scattering network to gain insight into the underlying physics governing the junction.
