Majorana fermions in pinned vortices
Exploiting the peculiar properties of proximity-induced superconductivity on the surface of a topological insulator, we propose a device, which allows the creation of a Majorana fermion inside the core of a pinned Abrikosov vortex. The relevant Bogolyubov-de Gennes equations are studied analytically. We demonstrate that in this system the zero-energy Majorana-fermion state is separated by a lar...

متن کاملOn Majorana fermions on the lattice
The construction of massless Majorana fermions with chiral Yukawa couplings on the lattice is considered. We find topological obstructions tightly linked to those underlying the NielsenNinomiya no-go theorem. In contradistinction to chiral fermions the obstructions originate only from the combination of the Dirac action and the Yukawa term. These findings are used to construct a chirally invari...
متن کاملMajorana and Majorana-Weyl fermions in lattice gauge theory
In various dimensional euclidean lattice gauge theories, we examine a compatibility of the Majorana decomposition and the charge conjugation property of lattice Dirac operators. In 8n and 1+8n dimensions, we find a difficulty to decompose a classical lattice action of the Dirac fermion into a system of the Majorana fermion and thus to obtain a factrized form of the Dirac determinant. Similarly,...
متن کاملHalf quantum vortices and Majorana fermions in triplet superconductors
Half quantum vortices (HQVs) in superfluid He − A have been speculated since 1976. Two years ago, Yamashita et al[1] reported a very unusual NMR satellite in the rotating superfluid He − A in a parallel plate geometry. Recently this satellite has been interpreted in terms of HQVs[2]. Also, the strong flux pinnings in the triplet superconductors UPt3, Sr2RuO4 and U1−xThxBe13 have been discovered...
