Majorana zero modes in graphene with trigonal warping

Abstract

We study the low energy properties of warped monolayer graphene, where the symmetry of the original honeycomb lattice reveals itself. The zero energy solutions are Majorana fermions, whose wavefunction, originating from the corresponding modified Dirac equation is spatially localized. Experimental consequences are discussed.
