Conventional n-dimensional topological superconductors (TSCs) have protected gapless (n− 1)-dimensional boundary states. In contrast to this, second-order TSCs are characterized …
After exploring much on two-dimensional higher-order topological superconductors (HOTSCs) hosting Majorana corner modes (MCMs) only, we propose a simple fermionic …

Higher-order topological phases host robust boundary states at the boundary of the boundary, which can be interpreted from their boundary topology. In this work, we show that …
The mutual competition and synergy of magnetism and superconductivity provide us with a very valuable opportunity to access topological superconductivity and Majorana fermions …
A two-dimensional second-order topological superconductor exhibits a finite gap in both bulk and edges, with the nontrivial topology manifesting itself through Majorana zero modes …
Second-order topological superconductors host Majorana corner and hinge modes in contrast to conventional edge and surface modes in two and three dimensions. However …

We consider a system consisting of two tunnel-coupled two-dimensional topological insulators proximitized by a top and bottom superconductor with a phase difference of π …
As platforms of Majorana modes, topological insulator (quantum anomalous Hall insulator)/ superconductor heterostructures have attracted tremendous attention over the past decade …
We introduce two-dimensional topological insulators in proximity to high-temperature cuprate or iron-based superconductors as high-temperature platforms of Majorana Kramers …
