Enhanced topological protection in planar quasi-one-dimensional channels with periodically-modulated width
Benjamin D. Woods, Tudor D. Stanescu
We study one dimensional (1D) and quasi-1D periodic structures as possible platforms for the emergence of Majorana bound states with enhanced robustness against disorder and system…
Subband occupation in semiconductor-superconductor nanowires
Benjamin D. Woods, Sankar Das Sarma, Tudor D. Stanescu
Subband occupancy (i.e. the number of occupied subbands or energy levels in the semiconductor) is a key physical parameter characterizing the topological properties of superconduct…
Zero-energy pinning of topologically-trivial bound states in multi-band semiconductor-superconductor nanowires
Benjamin D. Woods, Jun Chen, Sergey M. Frolov +1
Recent tunneling conductance measurements on semiconductor-superconductor nanowires find zero-bias peaks to be ubiquitous across wide ranges of chemical potential and Zeeman energy…
Electronic structure of full-shell InAs/Al hybrid semiconductor-superconductor nanowires: Spin-orbit coupling and topological phase space
Benjamin D. Woods, Sankar Das Sarma, Tudor D. Stanescu
We study the electronic structure of full-shell superconductor-semiconductor nanowires, which have recently been proposed for creating Majorana zero modes, using an eight-band $\ve…
Control and detection of Majorana bound states in quantum dot arrays
John P. T. Stenger, Benjamin D. Woods, Sergey M. Frolov +1
We study the low-energy physics of a one-dimensional array of superconducting quantum dots realized by proximity coupling a semiconductor nanowire to multiple superconducting islan…
