Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) relates to the interaction between an electron's motion and its spin
and is ubiquitous in solid-state systems. Although the effect of SOC in normal-state …

Surfaces are at the frontier of every known solid. They provide versatile supports for
functional nanostructures and mediate essential physicochemical processes. Intimately …

Majorana zero-energy bound states have been proposed to exist at the ends of one-
dimensional Rashba nanowires proximity-coupled to an s-wave superconductor in an …

Under certain conditions, a fermion in a superconductor can separate in space into two parts
known as Majorana zero modes, which are immune to decoherence from local noise …

A hallmark of topological superconductivity is the non-Abelian statistics of Majorana bound
states (MBS), its chargeless zero-energy emergent quasiparticles. The resulting …

A localized Zeeman field, intensified at heterostructure interfaces, could play a crucial role in
a broad area including spintronics and unconventional superconductors. Conventionally …

Topological superconductivity supports exotic Majorana bound states (MBS) which are
chargeless zero-energy emergent quasiparticles. With their non-Abelian exchange statistics …

Molecular spins on surfaces potentially used in quantum information processing and data
storage require long spin excitation lifetimes. Normally, coupling of the molecular spin with …

It is challenging to grow an epitaxial 4-fold compound superconductor (SC) on a 6-fold
topological insulator (TI) platform due to the stringent lattice-matching requirement. Here, we …

We argue that the formation of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov excitations in proximitized thin films is
largely mediated by a type of Andreev-bound state named after de Gennes and Saint …
