Flux-induced Topological Superconductor in Planar Josephson Junction
arXiv:1906.11504 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.235131
Abstract
A planar Josephson junction with a normal metal attached on its top surface will form a hollow nanowire structure due to its three dimensional nature. In such hollow nanowire structure, the magnetic flux induced by a small magnetic field (about 0.01T) will tune the system into topologically non-trivial phase and therefore two Majorana zero-modes will form at the ends of the nanowire. Through tuning the chemical potential of the normal metal, the topologically non-trivial phase can be obtained for almost all energy within the band. Furthermore, the system can be conveniently tuned between the topologically trivial and non-trivial phases via the phase difference between the superconductors. Such device, manipulable through flux, can be conveniently fabricated into desired 2D networks. Finally, we also propose a cross-shaped junction realizing the braiding of Majorana zero-modes through manipulating the phase differences.
