Chiral zero modes in superconducting nanowires with Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling
arXiv:1411.4393 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.90.245435
Abstract
Using chiral decomposition, we are able to find analytically the zero modes and the conditions for such modes to exist in the Kitaev ladder model and superconducting nanowires with Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling. As a result, we are able to calculate the number of zero modes in these systems for arbitrary given parameters in the semi-infinite limit. Moreover, we find that when suitable resonance condition is satisfied exact zero modes exist even in finite systems contrary to the common belief.
