It is shown that the three terminal T-JJ provides us with an ideal set-up for exploiting the distinctive correlations which aid in identifying hallmarks of Majorana bound state localized at the junction. Our approach combines information form sub-gap Cooper pair transport and transport of above-gap thermally excited quasiparticle which is complementary to the existing studies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-30T17:45:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "josephson junction", "majorana fermions", "thermal signature", "form sub-gap cooper pair transport", "information form sub-gap cooper pair" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
