Hidden Zeeman Field Reveals New Possibilities for Topological Superconductivity

Caption

Schematic of the OPM/superconductor heterostructure and the mechanism of topological superconductivity: the unique band structure of odd-parity magnets, in which the NSS and the HZF coexist, makes them an ideal platform for realizing topological superconductors and Majorana boundary modes when coupled to a conventional superconductor.
