Abstract
We investigate the transport characteristics of a chain of Majorana bound states (MBSs) in a T-shaped junction, where two normal leads are coupled to the same terminate MBS. We find the apparent odd-even effect in the transport process. Namely, when the MBS number is odd, the conductance spectrum exhibits a peak in the zero-bias limit. Besides, the shot noise Fano factor in the zero-bias limit and the conductance maximum are related by equation with . Otherwise, in the case of even-numbered MBSs, at the zero-bias limit, the conductance encounters its zero value, and the relation between F0 and changes as . Further investigation shows that these two kinds of relations are caused by the different interplay mechanisms between the crossed Andreev reflection and the local Andreev reflection. In addition, it is observed that the fluctuation of the inter-MBS couplings contributes little to the transport results. We ascertain that these results are helpful for understanding the MBS signature in transport spectra.
