Generic Weyl phase in the vortex state of quasi-two-dimensional chiral superconductors

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the collective behavior of Majorana modes in the vortex state of chiral pp-wave superconductors. Away from the isolated vortex limit, the zero-energy Majorana states communicate with each other on a vortex lattice, and form a coherent band structure with non-trivial topological character. We revealed that the topological nature of Majorana bands changes sensitively via quantum phase transitions in the two-dimensional (2D) systems, as sweeping magnetic field or Fermi energy. Through the dimensional reduction, we showed the existence of generic superconducting Weyl phase in a low magnetic field region of quasi-2D-chiral superconductors.
