Topological superconductivity in a multichannel Yu-Shiba-Rusinov chain
arXiv:1505.05862 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.93.024507
Abstract
Chains of magnetic atoms placed on the surface of an s-wave superconductor with large spin-orbit coupling provide a promising platform for the realization of topological superconducting states characterized by the presence of Majorana zero-energy modes. In this work we study the properties of the one-dimensional chain of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states induced by magnetic impurities using a realistic model for the magnetic atoms that include the presence of multiple scattering channels. These channels are mixed by the spin-orbit coupling and, via the hybridization of the Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states at different sites of the chain, result in a multi-band structure for the chain. We obtain the topological phase diagram for such band structure. We identify the parameter regimes for which the different bands lead to a topological phase and show that the inclusion of higher bands can greatly enlarge the phase space for the realization of topological states.
