Abstract
- We theoretically discuss electronic transport via Majorana states in magnetic topological insulator-superconductor junctions with an asymmetric split of the applied bias voltage. We study normal-superconductor-normal (NSN) junctions made of narrow (wire-like) or wide (film-like) magnetic topological insulator slabs with a central proximitized superconducting sector. The occurrence of charge non-conserving Andreev processes entails a nonzero conductance related to an electric current flowing to ground from the proximitized sector of the NSN junction. We show that topologically-protected Majorana modes require an antisymmetry of this conductance with respect to the point of equally split bias voltage across the junction.
