Zero-energy flat bands within the superconducting gap can give rise to competing ordered phases. We investigate such phases in topological superconductors based on the magnetic adatom platform hosting a flat band of Majorana edge states.…

We theoretically study superconducting proximity effect between a topological insulator (TI) and a high-temperature d-wave superconductor (dSC). When the TI-dSC heterostructure violates 90 degree-rotation and certain reflection symmetries,…
