Recent experiments have provided evidence that one-dimensional (1D) topological
superconductivity can be realized experimentally by placing transition-metal atoms that form …

Among the broad spectrum of systems predicted to exhibit topological superconductivity and
Majorana fermions, one-dimensional wires with strong spin-orbit coupling provide one of the …

There exists a variety of proposals to transform a conventional s-wave superconductor into a
topological superconductor, supporting Majorana fermion midgap states. A necessary …

Majorana fermions are predicted to localize at the edge of a topological superconductor, a
state of matter that can form when a ferromagnetic system is placed in proximity to a …

Heavy metals, such as Au, Ag, and Pb, often have sharp surface states that are split by
strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The strong spin-orbit coupling and two-dimensional …

We consider quasi-one-dimensional Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) systems in
proximity to an s-wave superconductor. We show that a 2 k F peak in the spin susceptibility …

We show that an in-plane magnetic field can drive a fully gapped p±ip topological
superconductor into a gapless phase which supports Majorana flat bands (MFBs). Unlike …

We study a one-dimensional wire with strong Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling
(SOC), which supports Majorana fermions when subject to a Zeeman magnetic field and in …

We theoretically obtain the phase diagram of localized magnetic impurity spins arranged in
a one-dimensional chain on top of a one-or two-dimensional electron gas. The interactions …

We consider a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) wire with a nonuniform chemical
potential induced by gating across the cross section. This inhomogeneity in chemical …
