Signatures of tunable Majorana-fermion edge states

Chiral Majorana-fermion modes are shown to emerge as edge excitations in a superconductor–topological-insulator hybrid structure that is subject to a magnetic field. The velocity of this mode is tunable by changing the magnetic-field magnitude and/or the superconductor's chemical potential. We...
