Dislocation Majorana bound states in iron-based superconductors

Abstract We show that lattice dislocations of topological iron-based superconductors such as FeTe1−x Se x will intrinsically trap non-Abelian Majorana quasiparticles, in the absence of any external magnetic field. Our theory is motivated by the recent experimental observations of normal-state weak t...
