Topological phases in the presence of disorder and longer-range couplings
arXiv:2212.07454 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.107.165137
Abstract
We study the combined effects of disorder and range of the couplings on the phase diagram of one-dimensional topological superconductors. We consider an extended version of the Kitaev chain where hopping and pairing terms couple many sites. Deriving the conditions for the existence of Majorana zero modes, we show that either the range and the on-site disorder can greatly enhance the topological phases characterized by the appearance of one or many Majorana modes localized at the edges. We consider both a discrete and a continuous disorder distribution. Moreover we discuss the role of correlated disorder which might further widen the topological regions. Finally we show that in the purely long-range regime and in the presence of disorder, the spatial decay of the edge modes remains either algebraic or exponential, with eventually a modified localization length, as in the absence of disorder.
