Even-odd parity effects in Majorana junctions    [PDF]

A. Zazunov, P. Sodano, R. Egger
We study a general Majorana junction, where N helical nanowires are connected to a common s-wave superconductor proximity-inducing Majorana bound states in the wires. The normal part of each wire (j=1,...,N) acts as connected lead, where electrons can tunnel into the respective Majorana state \gamma_{A,j}. The Majorana states at the other end, \gamma_{B,j}, are coupled to each other by an arbitrary tunnel matrix. We examine the conditions for even-odd parity effects in the tunnel conductance for various junction topologies.
