Topological superconductivity in carbon nanotubes with a small magnetic flux
We show that a one-dimensional topological superconductor can be realized in carbon nanotubes, using a relatively small magnetic field. Our analysis relies on the intrinsic curvature-enhanced spin-orbit coupling of the nanotubes, as well as on the orbital effect of a magnetic flux threaded through t...
