Muons are particles with a spin of ½ that can be implanted into a wide range of condensed
matter materials to act as a local probe of the surrounding atomic environment …

In this Tutorial, we give a pedagogical introduction to Majorana bound states (MBSs) arising
in semiconducting nanostructures. We start by briefly reviewing the well-known Kitaev chain …

In April 2021, scientists active in muon physics met to discuss and work out the physics case
for the new High-Intensity Muon Beams (HIMB) project at PSI that could deliver of order …

The superconducting order parameter of strontium ruthenate is the center of a lasting puzzle
calling for theoretical studies that include the seldom-considered effects of spin-orbit …

The possible symmetries of the superconducting pair amplitude is a consequence of the
fermionic nature of the Cooper pairs. For spin-1/2 systems this leads to the SPOT=− 1 …

We consider a finite-size topological Josephson junction formed at the edge of a two-
dimensional topological insulator in proximity to conventional superconductors and study …

Materials with strongly correlated electrons often exhibit interesting physical properties. An
example of these materials is the layered oxide perovskite Sr2RuO4, which has been …

Understanding the nature of Cooper pairs is essential to describe the properties of
superconductors. The original proposal of Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer (BCS) was …

The coupling of a superconductor (SC) to a different material often results in a system with
unconventional superconducting properties. A conventional SC is a perfect diamagnet …

Proximitized topological insulators (PTIs) have received significant research attention over
the past two decades. In this paper, we demonstrate that a low-dimensional PTI in the …
