Majorana bound states induced by antiferromagnetic skyrmion textures

Majorana bound states are zero-energy predicted to emerge in topological superconductors and intense efforts seeking definitive proof of their observation still ongoing. A standard route realize them involves antagonistic orders: a superconductor proximity ferromagnet. Here, we show that this issue can be resolved using antiferromagnetic rather than ferromagnetic order. We propose use chain skyrmions, an otherwise collinear antiferromagnet, coupled bulk conventional as novel platform capable supporting robust against disorder. Crucially, the region neither suppresses superconductivity nor induces superconductivity, thus allowing for localized at ends chain. Our model introduces new class systems where induced by editing textures locally tuning material parameters, opening avenues conclusive states.
