- Description
- A variety of one-dimensional electronic systems can be engineered to host topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes. In this talk, I’ll describe experiments on two different one-dimensional platforms. One is based on chains of magnetic atoms the work on which grew out of early efforts on the study of localized Bogoliubov quasi-particles near individual magnetic atoms on a superconductors. We have now performed a series of experiments to establish the presence of Majorana’s in this system, including a recent study of their spin polarization. A second system is based on introducing superconductivity on the hinge states of a high order topological insulator. Using combination of magnetism and superconductivity, we are exploring how Majorana zero mode can emerge in this system.
