1212.3910 (B. Rosenstein et al.)

Majorana states in a p-wave superconducting ring    [PDF]

B. Rosenstein, I. Shapiro, B. Ya. Shapiro
The spectrum of excitations of the chiral superconducting ring with internal and external radii, comparable with coherence length, trapping a unit flux is calculated. We find within the Bogoliubov-deGennes approach that there exists a pair of precisely zero energy states. They are not protected by topology, but are stable under certain deformations of the system. We discuss the ways to tune the system so that it grows into such a "Majorana disk". This condition has a character of a resonance phenomenon.
