We study the superconductivity of spin-polarized electrons in centrosymmetric ferromagnetic metals. Due to the spin polarization and the Fermi statistics of electrons, the …
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 …
Conventional topological superconductors are fully gapped in the bulk but host gapless Majorana modes on their boundaries. We instead focus on a new class of superconductors …
We present a new scheme for Majorana modes in systems with nonsymmorphic-symmetry- protected band degeneracy. We reveal that when the gapless fermionic excitations are …
After exploring much on two-dimensional higher-order topological superconductors (HOTSCs) hosting Majorana corner modes (MCMs) only, we propose a simple fermionic …

We propose a realization of the lattice-symmetry-assisted second-order topological superconductors with corner Majorana zero modes (MZM) based on two-dimensional …
In modern theory of solids, many-electron correlations can give rise to superconductivity, while the Berry or geometric phase is responsible for non-trivial topology. So far, these two …
We consider three-dimensional superconductors in class DIII with a fourfold rotation axis and inversion symmetry. It is shown that such systems can exhibit higher-order topology with …
