The transformation of digital computers from bulky machines to portable systems has been
enabled by new materials and advanced processing technologies that allow ultrahigh …

Topological materials have become the focus of intense research in recent years, since they
exhibit fundamentally new physical phenomena with potential applications for novel devices …

In the space of less than one decade, the search for Majorana quasiparticles in condensed
matter has become one of the hottest topics in physics. The aim of this review is to provide a …

This review elaborates pedagogically on the fundamental concept, basic theory, expected
properties, and materials realizations of topological superconductors. The relation between …

Topological insulators represent a new quantum state of matter which is characterized by
peculiar edge or surface states that show up due to a topological character of the bulk wave …

Ettore Majorana (1906–1938) disappeared while traveling by ship from Palermo to Naples
in 1938. His fate has never been fully resolved and several articles have been written that …

Topological insulators are emergent states of quantum matter that are gapped in the bulk
with time-reversal symmetry-preserved gapless edge/surface states, adiabatically distinct …

Majorana fermions (particles that are their own antiparticle) may or may not exist in nature as
elementary building blocks, but in condensed matter they can be constructed out of electron …

Nonreciprocal responses of noncentrosymmetric quantum materials attracted recent
intensive interests, which is essential for the rectification function in diodes. A recent …

This short review paper provides a pedagogical introduction to the rapidly growing research
field of Majorana fermions in topological superconductors. We first discuss in some detail the …
