Abstract :
The tunneling conductance in topological insulator (TI) ferromagnet/p-wave superconductor (FM/pS) junction is studied based on the Blonder–Tinkham–Klapwijk (BTK) theory. The Fermi energy mismatch between FM and pS as well as the finite quasiparticle lifetime are considered. Three kinds of pairings px, py, and px+ipy-waves for pS are chosen. It is found that the spectrum strongly depend on the magnetic gap, the gate potential, the quasiparticle lifetime as well as the type of the pair potential symmetry. The pair potential symmetry drastically affects the formation of the zero-energy bound states dependent on the magneto effect or the Fermi energy mismatch effect. The finite quasiparticle lifetime effect can suppress the Andreev resonant scattering process at eV=Δ0 and smear the dips in the conductance.
