Ettingshausen effect due to Majorana modes
The presence of Majorana zero-energy modes at vortex cores in a topological superconductor implies that each vortex carries an extra entropy s _0 , given by ( k _B /2)ln 2, that is independent of temperature. By utilizing this special property of Majorana modes, the edges of a topological supercondu...
