Strongly enlarged topological regime and enhanced superconducting gap in nanowires coupled to Ising superconductors

An external magnetic field is needed to drive a nanowire in proximity to an s-wave superconductor into a topological regime which supports Majorana end states. However, magnetic field generally suppresses the proximity superconducting gap induced on the nanowire. In recent experiments using InSb nan...
