Hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanowires are predicted to undergo a field-induced phase transition from a trivial to a topological superconductor, marked by the closure and re-opening of the excitation gap, followed by the emergence of…
Majorana zero modes in condensed matter systems have been the subject of much interest in recent years. Their non-Abelian exchange statistics, making them a unique state of matter, and their potential applications in topological quantum…
In the presence of an applied magnetic field introducing Zeeman spin splitting, a superconducting (SC) proximitized one-dimensional (1D) nanowire with spin-orbit coupling can pass through a topological quantum phase transition developing…
We show that the topologically trivial zero bias peak (ZBP) emerging in semiconductor Majorana wires due to soft confinement exhibits correlated splitting oscillations as a function of the applied Zeeman field, similar to the correlated…
Superconducting wires without time-reversal and spin-rotation symmetries can be driven into a topological phase that supports Majorana bound states. Direct detection of these zero-energy states is complicated by the proliferation of…
Inspired by a recent experimental observation of the zero-bias tunneling conductance in superconductor-semiconductor nanowire devices, we consider here transport properties of the junctions consisting of a nanowire (Luttinger liquid)…
We propose an experimental setup for detecting a Majorana zero mode consisting of a spinless quantum dot coupled to the end of a p-wave superconducting nanowire. The Majorana bound state at the end of the wire strongly influences the…
Interplay between superconductivity, spin-orbit coupling and magnetic field can lead to realisation of the topologically non--trivial states which in finite one dimensional nanowires are manifested by emergence of a pair of zero-energy…
We show theoretically that quantized zero-bias conductance peaks should be ubiquitous in superconductor-semiconductor hybrids by employing a zero-dimensional random matrix model with continuous tuning parameters. We demonstrate that a…
The boundary of topological superconductors might lead to the appearance of Majorana edge modes, whose non-trivial exchange statistics can be used for topological quantum computing. In branched nanowire networks one can exchange Majorana…
In this work we show that Rashba-based topological superconductor nanowires, where the spin-orbit coupling may change its sign, support three topological phases protected by chiral symmetry. When a superconducting phase gradient is applied…
We propose a novel scanning tunneling microscope (STM) device in which the tunneling tip is formed by a Majorana bound state (MBS). This peculiar bound state exists at the boundary of a one-dimensional topological superconductor. Since the…
We consider a Josephson junction bilayer consisting of two tunnel-coupled two-dimensional electron gas layers with Rashba spin-orbit interaction, proximitized by a top and bottom $s$-wave superconductor with phase difference $\phi$ close to…
Majorana bound states in topological superconductors have been predicted to appear in the form of zero-bias conductance peaks of height $2e^{2}/h$, which represents one of the most studied signatures so far. Here, we show that quasi…
We study Hanbury-Brown and Twiss current cross-correlations in a three-terminal junction where a central topological superconductor (TS) nanowire, bearing Majorana bound states at its ends, is connected to two normal leads. Relying on a…
The realization of Majorana corner modes generally requires unconventional superconducting pairing or $s$-wave pairing. However, the bulk nodes in unconventional superconductors and the low $T_c$ of $s$-wave superconductors are not…
The mutual competition and synergy of magnetism and superconductivity provide us with a very valuable opportunity to access topological superconductivity and Majorana Fermions. Here, we devise a heterostructure consisting of an $s$-wave…
We analyze influence of a dimerization on the topological phases of the Rashba nanowire proximitized to a superconducting substrate. We find that periodic alternations of the hopping integral and spin-orbit coupling can lead to band…
Recently, topological superconductors based on Josephson junctions in two-dimensional electron gases with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling have been proposed as attractive alternatives to wire-based setups. Here, we elucidate how…
The extension of the topological classification of band insulators to topological semimetals gave way to the topology classes of Dirac, Weyl, and nodal line semimetals with their unique Fermi arc and drum head boundary modes. Similarly,…
