Advantages of using high-temperature cuprate superconductor heterostructures in the search for Majorana fermions
We propose an alternative platform to observe Majorana bound states in solid-state systems. High-critical-temperature cuprate superconductors can induce superconductivity, by the proximity effect, in quasi-one-dimensional nanowires with strong spin-orbit coupling. They favor a wider and more robust range of conditions to stabilize Majorana fermions due to the large gap values, …
