The Majorana mode may be taken at the edge of a topological wire superimposed on the two-dimensional electron gas. At low energies the states of the wire are ignored except for the Majorana mode. Usual tunneling to a fermionic mode is compared. In the favorable cases, tunneling to a Majorana mode leads to an enhanced mirage effect and a spectral weight mainly confined around the foci, in comparison to the tunneling to a fermionic mode. The Majorana character of the image is shown computing the self-conjugacy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2018-11-22T11:40:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "majorana mode", "fermionic mode", "two-dimensional electron gas", "low energies", "majorana character" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
