Tunable vortex Majorana modes controlled by strain in homogeneous LiFeAs

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Fuchun Zhang | First 5 Authors: Wenyao Liu, Quanxin Hu, Xiancheng Wang, Yigui Zhong, Fazhi Yang | Summary: The iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) have recently emerged as a promising single-material Majorana platform by hosting isolated Majorana zero modes (MZMs) at relatively high temperatures. To further verify its Majorana nature and move forward to build […]
