Magnetic flux induced topological superconductivity in magnetic atomic rings
arXiv:2404.15605 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.109.205420
Abstract
There have been numerous studies on topological superconductivity in magnetic atomic chains deposited on s-wave superconductors. Most of these investigations have focused on spin-orbit interactions or helical spin orders. In this paper, we propose a model for achieving one-dimensional topological superconductivity in a magnetic atomic ring. This model utilizes a magnetic field and an antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic order, under the condition that the magnetic field is perpendicular to the moments of the magnetic order. On a quasi-one-dimensional substrate surface, where the half-filled ring favors an antiferromagnetic configuration, we demonstrate that either the magnetic field itself or a Rashba spin-orbit coupling guarantees the perpendicularity. On a two-dimensional surface, where the ring favors ferromagnetic orders, the perpendicularity is achieved by introducing a minor Rashba spin-orbit coupling.
