Abstract
We study the topologically protected Majorana zero modes induced by lattice dislocations in chiral topological superconductors. Dislocations provide a new way to realize Majorana zero modes at zero magnetic field. In particular, we study several different types of dislocations in the candidate material We also discuss the properties of linked dislocation lines and linked dislocation and flux lines. Various experimental consequences are predicted which provide a new approach to determine whether nature of the superconducting phase of
