Shot-noise and differential conductance as signatures of putative topological superconductivity in FeSe$_{0.45}$Te$_{0.55}$.

We present a theory for the differential shot noise, $dS/dV$, as measured via shot-noise scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and the differential conductance, $dI/dV$, for tunneling into Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in the putative topological superconductor FeSe$_{0.45}$Te$_{0.55}$. We demonstrate that for tunneling into chiral Majorana edge modes near domain walls, as well as MZMs localized in vortex cores and at the end of defect lines, $dS/dV$ vanishes whenever $dI/dV$ reaches a quantized value proportional to the quantum of conductance. These results are independent of the particular orbital tunneling path, thus establishing a vanishing $dS/dV$ concomitant with a quantized $dI/dV$, as universal signatures for Majorana modes in two-dimensional topological superconductors, irrespective of the material's specific complex electronic bandstructure.
