Abstract
- The conductance measurement of a half quantized plateau in a quantum anomalous Hall insulator-superconductor structure is reported by a recent experiment [Q. L. He \textit{et al.}, Science 357, 294-299 (2017)], which suggests the existence of the chiral Majorana fermion modes. However, such half quantized conductance plateau may also originates from a disorder-induced metallic phase. To identify the exact mechanism, we study the transport properties of such a system in the presence of strong disorders. Our results show that the local current density distributions of these two mechanisms are different. In particular, the current noises measurement can be used to distinguish them without any further fabrication of current experimental setup.
