Detection of second-order topological superconductors by Josephson junctions

We study Josephson junctions based on second-order topological superconductors (SOTSs) which can be realized in quantum spin Hall insulators with a large inverted gap in proximity to unconventional superconductors. We find that tuning the chemical potential in the superconductor strongly modifies th...
