Majorana zero modes induced by skyrmion lattice

One-dimensional s-wave superconductor with spin-orbit coupling is a platform for the realization of Majorana zero modes. The spin-exchange with the magnetic skyrmion lattice can induce spin-orbit coupling in a s-wave superconductor system and the effects are different from the constant spin–orbit coupling. The strength of the effective spin–orbit coupling as well as the rich topoloigcal phase diagram are directly connected to the radius of the skyrmion lattice R . We obtain the rich topological phase diagram of this system with different skyrmion lattice radii by numerically evaluating the spectrum of the system under the periodic boundary condition, and we also find the Majorana zero modes under the open boundary condition to verify the bulk–edge correspondence.
