This review elaborates pedagogically on the fundamental concept, basic theory, expected
properties, and materials realizations of topological superconductors. The relation between …

The 1937 theoretical discovery of Majorana fermions—whose defining property is that they
are their own anti-particles—has since impacted diverse problems ranging from neutrino …

Recently discovered alongside its sister compounds KV 3 Sb 5 and RbV 3 Sb 5, CsV 3 Sb 5
crystallizes with an ideal kagome network of vanadium and antimonene layers separated by …

Topological insulators represent a new quantum state of matter which is characterized by
peculiar edge or surface states that show up due to a topological character of the bulk wave …

In this review, we discuss recent progress in the explorations of topological materials
beyond topological insulators; specifically, we focus on topological crystalline insulators and …

A wide range of materials, like d-wave superconductors, graphene, and topological
insulators, share a fundamental similarity: their low-energy fermionic excitations behave as …

Topological superconductors are novel classes of quantum condensed phases,
characterized by topologically nontrivial structures of Cooper pairing states. On the surfaces …

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is an important concept for understanding physics ranging
from the elementary particles to states of matter. For example, the superconducting state …

A topological superconductor (TSC) is characterized by the topologically protected gapless
surface state that is essentially an Andreev bound state consisting of Majorana fermions …

In condensed matter physics, spontaneous symmetry breaking has been a key concept, and
discoveries of new types of broken symmetries have greatly increased our understanding of …
