“…The current for spin-↓ is of equal magnitude and opposite direction, as required by time-reversal symmetry, such that the net current vanishes in this system. While the present study is focused on the spinbalanced system at half-filling, it has been suggested [11,36,37] that, with the introduction of a time-reversalsymmetry breaking Zeeman field and appropriate parameters, this system may host Majorana fermions. Meanfield calculations at half-filling indicate that the presence of a Zeeman field, even of considerable magnitude, is not sufficient to create spin-↑ and spin-↓ currents of different magnitude, and the system remains in a state with Chern number 0, ±2 [37].…”
