We propose an alternative platform to observe Majorana bound states in solid-state systems. High-criticaltemperature cuprate superconductors can induce superconductivity, by the proximity effect, in quasi-onedimensional nanowires with strong spin-orbit coupling.

Abstract
We propose an alternative platform to observe Majorana bound states in solid-state systems. High-criticaltemperature cuprate superconductors can induce superconductivity, by the proximity effect, in quasi-onedimensional 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, and offer novel functionalities in the design of the experiments determined by different dispersion for Andreev bound states as a function of the phase difference.File in questo prodotto:
