Charge transfer statistics of transport through Majorana bound states
arXiv:1405.6292 · doi:10.1016/j.physe.2014.05.020
Abstract
We analyse the full counting statistics of charge transfer through a Majorana bound state coupled to an STM tip and show how they can be used for an unambiguous identification of the bound state at the end of the wire. Additionally, we show how to generate Majorana bound states in a simple setup involving a ferromagnetic wire on a superconducting substrate.
