摘要:

马约拉纳模是拓扑超导体的零能量激发,表现出非阿贝尔统计。在将半导体纳米线耦合到s波超导体中进行检测的建议之后,几个隧道实验报告了特征马约拉纳签名。减少无序一直是这些实验的主要挑战,因为无序可以模仿马约拉纳的零能量特征,并使拓扑性质不可访问。在这里,我们展示了InSb纳米线器件的特征马约拉纳签名,表现出明确的弹道输运属性。应用磁场和使用局部栅极的载流子密度的空间控制产生零偏置峰值,该零偏置峰值在化学势、塞曼能量和隧道势垒的参数空间中的大区域上是刚性的。无序的减少使我们能够在参数空间中分辨出有无零偏峰的独立区域,这表明拓扑上不同的相位。这些观测结果与弹道系统中的马约拉纳理论相一致,并首次排除了已知的其他解释,即引发无序或不均匀的化学势。

英文摘要:

Majorana modes are zero-energy excitations of a topological superconductor that exhibit non-Abelian statistics. Following proposals for their detection in a semiconductor nanowire coupled to an s-wave superconductor, several tunneling experiments reported characteristic Majorana signatures. Reducing disorder has been a prime challenge for these experiments because disorder can mimic the zero-energy signatures of Majoranas, and renders the topological properties inaccessible. Here, we show characteristic Majorana signatures in InSb nanowire devices exhibiting clear ballistic transport properties. Application of a magnetic field and spatial control of carrier density using local gates generates a zero bias peak that is rigid over a large region in the parameter space of chemical potential, Zeeman energy, and tunnel barrier potential. The reduction of disorder allows us to resolve separate regions in the parameter space with and without a zero bias peak, indicating topologically distinct phases. These observations are consistent with the Majorana theory in a ballistic system, and exclude for the first time the known alternative explanations that invoke disorder or a nonuniform chemical potential.
