Pairing that arises on a 2D topological surface state via proximity to a bulk superconductor is thought to be unconventional and may support non-Abelian particles like Majorana fermions in vortices.
“Theoretically, superconducting pairing induced on a two-dimensional topological surface state through proximity to a bulk superconductor is believed to be inherently unconventional, with the potential to host non-Abelian (non-commutative) particles such as Majorana fermions in their vortices 12,13,20 .”

Most proposals to manipulate the topological surface states in Bi2Se3 rely on the opening of a superconducting gap by proximity to a superconductor.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
