Interaction-induced zero-energy pinning and quantum dot formation in Majorana nanowires

Majorana modes emerge in non-trivial topological phases at the edges of specific materials such as proximitized semiconducting nanowires under an external magnetic field. Ideally, they are non-local states that are charge-neutral superpositions of electrons and holes. However, in nanowires of realis...
