Topological superconductivity and Majorana fermions in RKKY systems

J Klinovaja, P Stano, A Yazdani, D Loss - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
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 …

CH Hsu, P Stano, J Klinovaja, D Loss - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We investigate the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction arising from the
hyperfine coupling between localized nuclear spins and conduction electrons in interacting …

Evolution of the quantum Hall bulk spectrum into chiral edge states

T Patlatiuk, CP Scheller, D Hill, Y Tserkovnyak… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
One of the most intriguing and fundamental properties of topological systems is the
correspondence between the conducting edge states and the gapped bulk spectrum. Here …

Multiple-scattering approach for multi-spin chiral magnetic interactions: application to the one-and two-dimensional Rashba electron gas

S Lounis - New Journal of Physics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Various multi-spin magnetic exchange interactions (MEI) of chiral nature have been recently
