Ballistic composite fermions in semiconductor nanostructures.
We report the results of two fundamental transport measurements at a Landau level filling factor ν of 1/2. The well known ballistic electron transport phenomena of quenching of the Hall effect in a mesoscopic cross-junction and negative magnetoresistance of a constriction are observed close to B = 0 and ν = 1/2. The experimental results demonstrate semi-classical charge transport by composite f...
متن کاملDetection of Majorana fermions by Fano resonance in hybrid nanostructures
The realization and detection of Majorana fermions in condensed matter systems are of considerable importance and interest. We propose a scheme to detect the Majorana fermions by Fano resonance in hybrid nanostructures made of semiconductor quantum dots and quantum wire in proximity to superconductor. Through detailed theoretical studies of the transport properties of our hybrid nanostructures ...

متن کاملSignatures of Majorana fermions in hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanowire devices.
Majorana fermions are particles identical to their own antiparticles. They have been theoretically predicted to exist in topological superconductors. Here, we report electrical measurements on indium antimonide nanowires contacted with one normal (gold) and one superconducting (niobium titanium nitride) electrode. Gate voltages vary electron density and define a tunnel barrier between normal an...
متن کاملTopological Superfluids: Majorana Fermions
The subject of topological superfluids, though they were not originally called by that name, actually antedates that of topological insulators, and has played a major role in the attempt to implement topological quantum computation (see lectures 26 and 28). Crudely speaking, the analogy with TI’s goes as follows: in a crystalline solid with spin-orbit coupling, the single-particle energy eigens...
