Majorana zero modes are predicted in several solid state systems such as hybrid superconductorsemiconductor structures and topological insulators coupled to superconductors. One of the expected signatures of Majorana modes is the fractional 4π Josephson effect. Evidence in favor of this effect often comes from a.c. Josephson effect measurements and focuses on the observation of missing first or higher odd-numbered Shapiro steps. However, the disappearance of the odd Shapiro steps has also been…
