چکیده
Fermions in the vortex core as edge states. Abstract The splitting of the spectrum of the electronic bound states in the vortex core with broken parity and axisymmetry is dicussed using (i) the phenomenological approach, and (ii) the simple model, in which the vortex core is represented by the vortex sheet of the radius R much larger than the coherence length ξ. In this model the bound states are concentrated in the vortex sheet and represent the chiral edge states similar to that in Quantum Hall Effect. The energy levels are obtained by quasiclassical quantization of the fermion motion on closed classical trajectories along the sheet. For the vortex with winding number n = 1 we found the splitting of the spectrum into two sub-branches. The levels on each sub-branch are equidistant, but the sub-branches are symmetrically shifted from each other. This is similar to what was found by Larkin and Ovchinnikov in a recent preprint cond-mat/9708202 [1] for the case when the symmetry is broken by impurities.

An Experimental Investigation of the Flowfield over a Low Aspect Ratio Wing
A wind tunnel investigation was performed to study the flow field over a 70° swept sharped edge delta wing model at high angles of attack. The experiments were conducted in the subsonic wind tunnel at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology. Velocity profiles have been measured using a special pitot tube and hot wire anemometer at angles of attacks of 10 to 35 ...

متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Asymmetry of Vortex Flow Over Single Delta Wings
It is generally believed that, on slender delta wings, there is a critical state at which strong asymmetric vortices are found along the leading edge on the lee-side of the delta wing. These asymmetric vortices can lead to high lateral forces even when slender delta wing is at the zero angle of yaw. Some experimental studies reported recently, cast considerable doubt as to the validity of the a...
متن کاملMajorana fermions in topological superconductors with spin-orbit interaction
When a topological order is realized in a certain class of superconductors, it supports Majorana fermions on the edge or in the vortex core. Vortices with Majorana fermion modes are neither fermions nor bosons but non-Abelian anyons, obeying the non-Abelian statistics for which the exchange operations of particles are not commutative. Because of this remarkable feature, Majorana fermions plays ...
متن کاملMajorana fermion induced resonant Andreev reflection.
We describe experimental signatures of Majorana fermion edge states, which form at the interface between a superconductor and the surface of a topological insulator. If a lead couples to the Majorana fermions through electron tunneling, the Majorana fermions induce resonant Andreev reflections from the lead to the grounded superconductor. The linear tunneling conductance is 0 (2e(2)/h) if there...
