We study the possibility to realize a Majorana zero mode that is robust and may be easily manipulated for braiding in quantum computing in the ground state of the Kitaev model in this work.To achieve this we first apply a uniform[111]magnetic field to the gapless Kitaev model and turn the Kitaev model to an effective p + ip topological superconductor of spinons.We then study possible vortex binding in such system to a topologically trivial spot in the ground state.We consider two cases in the system:one is a vacancy and the other is a fully polarized spin.We show that in both cases,the system binds a vortex with the defect and a robust Majorana zero mode in the ground state at a weak uniform[111]magnetic field.The distribution and asymptotic behavior of these Majorana zero modes are studied.The Majorana zero modes in both cases decay exponentially in space,and are robust against local perturbations and other Majorana zero modes far away,which makes them promising candidates for braiding in topological quantum computing.

Magnetic two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdWs) materials and their heterostructures attract increasing attention in the spintronics community due to their various degrees of freedom such as spin,charge,and energy valley,which may stimulate potential a
A theory of multiphoton photoemission is derived to explain the experimentally observed monotonic decrease with the wavelength in the electron yield of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) by as large as four orders of magnitude.It is found that the fitting parameter
Photonic-plasmonic hybrid microcavities,which possess a higher figure of merit Q/V (the ratio of quality factor to mode volume) than that of pure photonic microcavities or pure plasmonic nano-antennas,play key roles in enhancing light-matter interaction.I
A surrounding electromagnetic environment can engineer spontaneous emissions from quantum emitters through the Purcell effect.For instance,a plasmonic antenna can efficiently confine an electromagnetic field and enhance the fluorescent process.In this stu
Recent years,huge progress of first-principles methods has been witnessed in calculating the quasiparticle band gaps,with many-body perturbation theory in the GW approximation being the standard choice,where G refers to Green\'s function and W denotes t
Motivated by the fact that Weyl fermions can emerge in a three-dimensional topological insulator on breaking either time-reversal or inversion symmetries,we propose that a topological quantum phase transition to a Weyl semimetal phase occurs under the off
In blue quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs),electron injection is insufficient,which would degrade device efficiency and stability.Herein,we employ chlorine passivated ZnO nanoparticles as electron transport layer to facilitate electron injection in
