Josephson current in a quantum dot coupled to a topological superconducting α-helical protein
Source abstract
Abstract
We investigate the topological properties of a topological superconducting α-helical protein. It is shown that the Majorana zero modes can be formed at both ends of the topological superconducting α-helical protein with non-trivial phase. Our results indicate that the gate field can affect the topological phase. Employing Green’s function method, we investigate the Josephson current through a quantum dot side coupled to a topological superconducting α-helical protein. Due to leakage of the Majorana zero mode, the Josephson current shows a trivial/non-trivial phase transition. The results can be used to probe the existence of the Majorana zero mode in protein.
