The first-principles band theory paradigm has been a key player not only in the process of
discovering new classes of topologically interesting materials, but also for identifying salient …

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 …

Topological materials and unconventional iron-based superconductors are both important
areas of study but, to date, relatively little overlap has been identified between these two …

Vortices in topological superconductors may host Majorana zero modes (MZMs), which have
been proposed as the building blocks of fault-tolerant topological quantum computers …

As one of the simplest systems for realizing Majorana fermions, the topological
superconductor plays an important role in both condensed matter physics and quantum …

Superconductivity in topological band structures is a platform for realizing Majorana bound
states and other exotic physical phenomena such as emergent supersymmetry. This …

Josephson junctions with topological insulator weak links can host low-energy Andreev-
bound states giving rise to a current–phase relation that deviates from sinusoidal behaviour …

In this Letter, we establish a new theoretical paradigm for vortex Majorana physics in the
recently discovered topological iron-based superconductors (TFeSCs). While TFeSCs are …

Lorentz-invariance-violating Weyl and Dirac fermions have recently attracted intensive
interests as new types of particles beyond high-energy physics, and they demonstrate novel …

We study vortex bound states in three-dimensional (3D) superconducting Dirac semimetals
with time reversal symmetry. We find that there exist robust gapless vortex bound states …
