Trapping Majorana Zero Modes in Vortices of Magnetic Texture Crystals Coupled to Nodal Superconductors

Daniel Steffensen, Brian M. Andersen, Panagiotis Kotetes

We propose a mechanism for opening a full bulk energy gap and inducing vortex Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in nodal superconductors (SCs). We show that this becomes possible by coupl…
