全壳层InAs/Al超导-超导混合纳米线的电子结构:自旋轨道耦合和拓扑相空间

Electronic structure of full-shell InAs/Al hybrid semiconductor-superconductor nanowires: Spin-orbit coupling and topological phase space

Benjamin D. Woods, Sankar Das Sarma, Tudor D. Stanescu

摘要:

我们研究了全壳层超导半导体纳米线的电子结构,这是最近提出的创建马约拉纳零模式,使用八带$\vec{k} \cdot \vec{p}$模型在一个完全自洽薛定谔-泊松方案。我们发现由内禀径向电场引起的自旋轨道耦合对于在费米能级附近具有最小值的子带是一般较弱的。此外,我们表明,与拓扑相的出现相一致的化学势窗口是小而稀疏的,只能通过微调导线的直径来达到。这些研究结果表明,参数空间与全壳层InAs/Al纳米线中拓扑相的实现相一致,充其量是非常窄的。

英文摘要:

We study the electronic structure of full-shell superconductor-semiconductor nanowires, which have recently been proposed for creating Majorana zero modes, using an eight-band $\vec{k} \cdot \vec{p}$ model within a fully self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson scheme. We find that the spin-orbit coupling induced by the intrinsic radial electric field is generically weak for sub-bands with their minimum near the Fermi energy. Furthermore, we show that the chemical potential windows consistent with the emergence of a topological phase are small and sparse and can only be reached by fine tunning the diameter of the wire. These findings suggest that the parameter space consistent with the realization of a topological phase in full-shell InAs/Al nanowires is, at best, very narrow.
