摘要
Topological phases of matter have been used as a fertile realm of intensive discussions about fermionic fractionalization. In this work, we study the effects of anisotropic superconducting correlations in the fermionic fractionalization on the topological phases. We consider a hybrid version of the SSH and Kitaev models with an anisotropic superconducting order parameter to investigate the unusual states with zero energy that emerges in a finite chain. To obtain these zero-energy solutions, we built a chain with a well-defined domain wall at the middle of the chain. Our solutions indicate an interesting dynamic between the zero-energy state around the domain wall and the superconducting correlation parameters. Finally, we find that the presence of an isolated Majorana at the ends of the chain is strongly dependent on the existence of the solitonic excitation in the middle of the chain.
