Topological phase transitions and Majorana zero modes in DNA double helix coupled to s-wave superconductors

Topological properties of a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) proximity-coupled by an s -wave superconductor are investigated, in which the energy spectra and the differential conductance are calculated within the framework of tight-binding approximation. Our results indicate that this dsDNA-superconducto...
