Majorana Zero Modes in Cylindrical Semiconductor Quantum Wire
arXiv:2009.12640 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.104.035426
Abstract
We study Majorana zero modes properties in cylindrical cross-section semiconductor quantum wires based on the theory and a discretized lattice model. Within this model, the influence of disorder potentials in the wire and amplitude and phase fluctuations of the superconducting order-parameter are discussed. We find that for typical wire geometries, pairing potentials, and spin-orbit coupling strengths, coupling between quasi-one-dimensional sub-bands is weak, low-energy quasiparticles near the Fermi energy are nearly completely spin-polarized, and the number of electrons in the active sub-bands of topological states is small.
