Noise as a probe of Majorana fermion surface states

Abstract

The emergence of Majorana fermion surface states has been studied in several environments. In this paper we discuss the current-voltage characteristics of a Majorana fermion state as a function of the voltage, temperature and magnetic field and compare the results to experiment. Based on the agreement and identified parameters we calculate the noise as a possible ultimate proof of the emergence of Majorana fermions.
