Spin-Polarized Majorana Zero Modes in Proximitized Superconducting Penta-Silicene Nanoribbons

R. C. Bento Ribeiro, J. H. Correa, L. S. Ricco +6

We theoretically investigate the possibility of obtaining Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in penta-silicene nanoribbons (p-SiNRs) with induced \textit{p}-wave superconductivity. The mod…
