Description:
Author(s): Roman M. Lutchyn, Tudor D. Stanescu, and S. Das Sarma We study multiband semiconducting nanowires proximity-coupled with an s-wave superconductor. We show that, when an odd number of subbands are occupied, the system realizes a nontrivial topological state supporting Majorana modes. We study the topological quantum phase transition in this system and c... [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 127001] Published Mon Mar 21, 2011
