Bimodal conductance distribution of Kitaev edge modes in topological superconductors

Bimodal conductance distribution of Kitaev edge modes in topological superconductors

A two-dimensional superconductor with spin-triplet p -wave pairing supports chiral or helical Majorana edge modes with a quantized (length L -independent) thermal conductance. Sufficiently strong anisotropy removes both chirality and helicity, doubling the conductance in the clean system and imposin...
