Masses and Majorana fermions in graphene
Masses and Majorana fermions in graphene
We review the classification of all the 36 possible gap-opening instabilities in graphene, i.e. the 36 relativistic masses of the two-dimensional Dirac Hamiltonian when the spin, valley, and superconducting channels are included. We then show that in graphene it is possible to realize an odd number of Majorana fermions attached …
