Abstract

We theoretically study the spin-dependent transport properties of an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer composed by a T-shaped quantum dot (QD) embedded in Majorana bound states (MBS). We use the equation of motion method to calculate the conductance across the interferometer. We note that the conductance exhibits sensitive dependence on the MBS-QD coupling strength as well as the polarization strength of the leads when the phase factor of AB ring changes periodically. The conductance shows a transition from resonance to anti-resonance when the MBS-QD coupling strength changes from small to large. Also, there is different p-dependence conductance when the leads alignment changes from parallel to anti-parallel. These findings suggest that such a model could be used for a sensitive detection of MBS interactions, exploiting the high sensitivity of conductance to the AB phase in the interferometer.
