Majorana Zero Modes Emulated in a Magnetic Molecule Chain.
2021
We propose molecular magnets as a platform to emulate Majorana zero modes (MZMs). Using a quantum chemistry approach, we identify several candidates and predict a Co trimer to have sufficient properties to host MZMs. Parameters of the quantum spin Hamiltonian describing the three coupled magnetic centers are extracted from ab initio calculations. The low-energy subspace of this material realizes an effective anisotropic spin-1/2 chain. We show the presence of MZMs in this system and find that their response to electronic paramagnetic resonance provides an experimentally realizable signature.
