Majorana flat bands and unidirectional Majorana edge states in gapless topological superconductors

We show that an in-plane magnetic field can drive a fully gapped p ± ip topological superconductor into a gapless phase which supports Majorana flat bands (MFBs). Unlike previous examples, the MFBs in the gapless regime are protected from disorder by a chiral symmetry. In addition, novel unidirectio...
