Abstract:Recent experiments have provided evidence for chiral charge order in Kagome superconductors (SCs). This intriguing possibility motivates us to unveil the first pathway to engineer topological superconductivity by harnessing the interplay of charge Chern insulators (CIs) and conventional SCs. We here identify under which conditions a pyramidal SC/CI/SC heterostructure induces an effective 1D spinless p-wave SC that allows pinning Majorana zero modes (MZMs) at termination edges and domain walls. As we reveal, su… Show more
