Electrically detected interferometry of Majorana fermions in a topological insulator
A. R. Akhmerov, Johan Nilsson, C. W. J. Beenakker
We show how a chiral Dirac fermion (a massless electron or hole) can be converted into a pair of neutral chiral Majorana fermions (a particle equal to its own antiparticle). These…
Quantum Goos-Hanchen effect in graphene
C. W. J. Beenakker, R. A. Sepkhanov, A. R. Akhmerov +1
The Goos-Hanchen (GH) effect is an interference effect on total internal reflection at an interface, resulting in a shift sigma of the reflected beam along the interface. We show t…
Nonalgebraic length dependence of transmission through a chain of barriers with a Levy spacing distribution
C. W. J. Beenakker, C. W. Groth, A. R. Akhmerov
The recent realization of a "Levy glass" (a three-dimensional optical material with a Levy distribution of scattering lengths) has motivated us to analyze its one-dimensional analo…
