Manipulating Majorana zero modes on atomic rings with an external magnetic field

Majorana fermions, particles which are their own antiparticles, are predicted to exist in systems combining superconductivity and topologically non-trivial band structure. Here, the authors propose means to create and manipulate such excitations in one-dimensional chains of adatoms on superconductin...

Sumario:Majorana fermions, particles which are their own antiparticles, are predicted to exist in systems combining superconductivity and topologically non-trivial band structure. Here, the authors propose means to create and manipulate such excitations in one-dimensional chains of adatoms on superconducting surfaces.
