中文摘要 | We study the p-wave superconducting wire with a periodically modulated chemical potential and show that the Majorana edge states are robust against the periodic modulation. We find that the critical amplitude of modulated potential, at which the Majorana edge fermions and topological phase disappear, strongly depends on the phase shifts. For some specific values of the phase shift, the critical amplitude tends to infinity. The existence of Majorana edge fermions in the open chain can be characterized by a topological Z(2) invariant of the bulk system, which can be applied to determine the phase boundary between the topologically trivial and nontrivial superconducting phases. We also demonstrate the existence of the zero-energy peak in the spectral function of the topological superconducting phase, which is only sensitive to the open boundary condition but robust against the disorder. |
