Quality factor for zero-bias conductance peaks in Majorana nanowire

Yi-Hua Lai, Sankar Das Sarma, Jay D. Sau

Despite recent experimental progress towards observing large zero-bias conductance peaks (ZBCPs) as signatures of Majorana modes, confusion remains about whether Majorana modes hav…

Acoustic-phonon-mediated superconductivity in Bernal bilayer graphene

Yang-Zhi Chou, Fengcheng Wu, Jay D. Sau +1

We present a systematic theory of acoustic-phonon-mediated superconductivity, which incorporates Coulomb repulsion, explaining the recent experiment in Bernal bilayer graphene unde…

On the signatures of non-topological patches on the surface of topological insulators

Tamoghna Barik, Jay D. Sau

The non-trivial topology in the layered (FTS) superconductor has been suggested by both theory and experiment to be strongly dependent on the T…

Acoustic-phonon-mediated superconductivity in rhombohedral trilayer graphene

Yang-Zhi Chou, Fengcheng Wu, Jay D. Sau +1

Motivated by the observation of two distinct superconducting phases in the moiréless ABC-stacked rhombohedral trilayer graphene, we investigate the electron-acoustic-phonon couplin…

Correlation-induced triplet pairing superconductivity in graphene-based moiré systems

Yang-Zhi Chou, Fengcheng Wu, Jay D. Sau +1

Motivated by the possible non-spin-singlet superconductivity in the magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene experiment, we investigate the triplet-pairing superconductivity arising f…
