Detecting and Distinguishing Majorana Zero Modes with the STM just appeared in Nature Reviews Physics!
We are discussing the current state of research on Majorana zero modes (MZM) using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). In view of the recent debate on the existence of Majorana zero modes in semiconducting nanowires in the community, we have particularly focused on explaining how STM measurements can be applied for distinguishing MZM from other states that may show similar characteristics. Finally, we propose a new concept for probing the anyonic ground state degeneracy of MZM using STM. We are proud about our first publication from our group at HKUST and we hope that you will enjoy the read!
