Topological properties of finite-size heterostructures of magnetic topological insulators and superconductors

Heterostructures of magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) and superconductors (SCs) in two-dimensional (2D) slab and one-dimensional (1D) nanoribbon geometries have been predicted to host, respectively, chiral Majorana edge states (CMESs) and Majorana bound states (MBSs). We study the topological p...

We study the topological properties of such MTI/SC heterostructures upon variation of the geometry from wide slabs to quasi-1D nanoribbon systems and as a function of the chemical potential, the magnetic doping, and the induced superconducting pairing potential. To do so, we construct effective symmetry-constrained low-energy Hamiltonians accounting for the real-space confinement. For a nanoribbon geometry with finite width and length, we observe different phases characterized by CMESs, MBSs, as well as coexisting CMESs and MBSs, as the chemical potential, the magnetic doping, and/or the width are varied.This project is financially supported by the QuantERA grant MAGMA, by the National Research Fund Luxembourg under Grant No. INTER/QUANTERA21/16447820/MAGMA, by the German Research Foundation under Grant No. 491798118, by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 under Project No. PCI2022-132927, and by the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR.
