The iron-based superconductor FeTexSe1−x is one of the material candidates hosting Majorana vortex modes residing in the vortex cores. It has been observed by recent scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurement that the fraction of vortex cores having zero-bias peaks decreases with increasing magnetic field on the surface of FeTexSe1−x. The hybridization of two Majorana vortex modes cannot simply explain this phenomenon. We construct a three-dimensional tight-binding model simulating the physics of over a hundred Majorana vortex modes in FeTexSe1−x. Our simulation shows that the Majorana hybridization and disordered vortex distribution can explain the decreasing fraction of the zero-bias peaks observed in the experiment; the statistics of the energy peaks off zero energy in our Majorana simulation are in agreement with the experiment. These agreements lead to an important indication of scalable Majorana vortex modes in FeTexSe1−x. Thus, FeTexSe1−x can be one promising platform having scalable Majorana qubits for quantum computing.

We study the invariant measures in the weak disorder limit, for the Anderson model on two coupled chains. These measures live on a three-dimensional projective space, and we use a total set of functions on this space to characterize the measures. We find that at several points of the spectrum, there are anomalies similar to that first found by Kappus and Wegner for the single chain at zero energy.

We present a method of solution of the quasi-linear diffusion equation for the averaged distribution function. The criterion for its validity is discussed. Using the solution obtained, we study the dynamics of the relaxation of a weak kinetic electron-beam instability and show that it saturates asymptotically at zero energy level. In a self-consistent manner, the distribution function for the beam particles will be shown to deform to a flat shape.

Abstract We summarize unusual bound or localized states in quantum mechanics. Our guide through these intriguing phenomena is the classical physics of the upside-down pendulum, taking advantage of the analogy between the corresponding Newton’s equation of motion and the time independent Schrödinger equation. We discuss the zero-energy ground state in a three-dimensional, spatially oscillating, potential. Moreover, we focus on the effect of the attractive quantum anti-centrifugal potential that only occurs in a two-dimensional situation.
