Majorana edge modes in the Kitaev model
Manisha Thakurathi, K. Sengupta, Diptiman Sen
We study the Majorana modes, both equilibrium and Floquet, which can appear at the edges of the Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice. We first present the analytical solutions kno…
Majorana Fermions in superconducting wires: effects of long-range hopping, broken time-reversal symmetry and potential landscapes
Wade DeGottardi, Manisha Thakurathi, Smitha Vishveshwara +1
We present a comprehensive study of two of the most experimentally relevant extensions of Kitaev's spinless model of a 1D p-wave superconductor: those involving (i) longer range ho…
Floquet generation of Majorana end modes and topological invariants
Manisha Thakurathi, Aavishkar A. Patel, Diptiman Sen +1
We show how Majorana end modes can be generated in a one-dimensional system by varying some of the parameters in the Hamiltonian periodically in time. The specific model we conside…
