Theory of giant magnetoresistance at misfit interfaces

We study theoretically the resistance at the interface between the two planar systems with different lattice constants a and b. The resistance and the effect of the magnetic field depends sensitively on the ratio a/b. The size of the enlarged unit cell $λ= n_Aa = n_Bb$ ($n_A$, $n_B$: integers) is the crucial quantity, and the magnetic flux penetrating this enlarged unit cell determines the oscillation of the resistance. Therefore, the magnetoresistance is very much enhanced at (nearly) incommensurate relation between a and b.

Topological indices, defects and Majorana fermion in chiral superconductors

We study theoretically the role of topological invariants to protect the Majorana fermions in a model of two-dimensional chiral superconductors which belong to class D of topological periodic table. A rich phase diagram is revealed. Each phase is characterized by the topological invariants for 2d (Z) and 1d (Z2), which lead to the Majorana fermion at the edge of the dislocation and the core of the vortex. Interference of the Majorana fermions originated from the different topological invariants is studied. The stability of the Majorana fermion with respect to the interlayer coupling, i.e., in 3d, is also examined.
