Abstract
摘要 |
Systems that inherently exhibit topological superconductivity are rare in nature, and the highly coveted Majorana fermions are therefore mainly pursued in engineered hybrid devices. In this talk, I will present how to harness the possible microscopic coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism, as an alternative pathway to craft intrinsic topological superconductors. I will focus on materials with spontaneous textured magnetic order driven by Fermi surface nesting. This work is motivated by the iron pnictides, in which such a coexistence has been shown experimentally [1], and a recent theoretical analysis [2] has revealed that textured magnetism is also accessible. I will discuss the arising topological superconducting phases in layered multiband materials with magnetic spiral, whirl or skyrmion order, coexisting with various types of spin-singlet superconductivity. The diverse magnetic phases lead to a variety of flat, unidirectional, helical and chiral Majorana edge modes. As I will demonstrate, this multifaceted manifestation of Majorana fermion modes stems from the interplay of topological phases with both gapped and nodal bulk energy spectra. [1] L.
