Topological Ising superconductivity in two-dimensional p-wave magnet

Fermi-surface spin splitting generated by non-relativistic exchange fields provides a new route to topological superconductivity without relying on strong spin-orbit coupling. Here, we study superconducting instabilities of a square-lattice $p$-wave magnet with onsite and nearest-neighbour attractive interactions. The odd-parity exchange field removes inversion symmetry in the spin-split electronic structure, mixing singlet and triplet order parameters within a single symmetry channel. The leading instability is a mixed-parity A$_1$ Ising state, in which singlet components coexist with the $p_x$-wave triplet component, whose $d$-vector is locked along the exchange-field axis. As the nearest-neighbour attraction grows, this Ising state undergoes a transition into a nodal topological superconducting phase with Majorana edge modes protected by momentum-resolved winding numbers. These modes extend over finite momentum intervals bounded by the surface projections of bulk point nodes. We further show that a Zeeman field perpendicular to the exchange field can induce a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological superconducting phase. Our results identify $p$-wave magnets as a versatile testbed for topological superconductivity driven by non-relativistic spin splitting.

p wave Magnetism and Gate-Tunable Edelstein Response in van der Waals Heterostructures

Odd-parity magnetism has attracted significant interest for its unconventional spin splitting. However, a concrete microscopic route for its realization remains elusive. In this work, we propose van der Waals heterostructures of stripe antiferromagnets (sAFMs) as an ideal platform for electrically controllable $p$-wave magnetism. In the sAFM/metal/sAFM structure, the leading RKKY-type exchange interaction is canceled due to the symmetry of the stacking pattern. This exposes a higher-order biquadratic interaction as a dominant contribution that drives a filling-controlled transition from a collinear phase to an orthogonal $p$-wave configuration. The resulting $p$-wave phase exhibits a gate-tunable Edelstein response, which originates from magnetic symmetry breaking rather than conventional relativistic spin-momentum locking and remains robust even under substantial spin-orbit coupling. Finally, we propose material candidates for the realization of our theory. Our results establish van der Waals heterostructures as a practical platform for non-relativistic spintronics with electric control of odd-parity spin textures.
