Transport of Majorana zero modes in ferromagnet-superconductor junction

ORAL

Abstract

We study the charge conductance and reflectance at the interface of a controlled ferromagnetic lead and a topological superconductor (TSC). In the N=1 phase of TSC, the magnetization-dependent anisotropic reflectance showed agreement with the polarization of the chiral Majorana mode occupying the interface layer. Further studies proposed on a realistic model of materials suggest spin-polarized normal and cross Andreev reflections could serve as a probe or a gate to the Majorana mode.
