Majorana bound states in the finite-length chain

Recent experiments investigating edge states in ferromagnetic atomic chains on superconducting substrate are analyzed. In particular, finite size effects are considered. It is shown how the energy of the Majorana bound state depends on the length of the chain, as well as on the parameters of the m...

Zusammenfassung:Recent experiments investigating edge states in ferromagnetic atomic chains on superconducting substrate are analyzed. In particular, finite size effects are considered. It is shown how the energy of the Majorana bound state depends on the length of the chain, as well as on the parameters of the model. Oscillations of the energy of the bound edge state in the chain as a function of the length of the chain, and as a function of the applied voltage (or the chemical potential) are studied. In particular, it has been shown that oscillations can exist only for some values of the effective potential.
