摘要：
We show that Majorana edge modes of two-dimensional spin-triplet topological superconductors (superfluids) have Ising-type spin density whose direction is determined by the d-vector characterizing the spin-triplet pairing symmetry. Exchange coupling between an impurity spin (S=1/2) and Majorana edge modes is thus Ising-type. Under external magnetic field perpendicular to the Ising axis, the system can be mapped to a two-level system with Ohmic dissipation, which is equivalent to the anisotropic Kondo model. The magnetic response of the impurity spin can serve as a local experimental probe for the order parameter.
