Gate-Defined Wires in HgTe Quantum Wells: From Majorana Fermions to Spintronics
We introduce a promising new platform for Majorana zero modes and various spintronics applications based on gate-defined wires in HgTe quantum wells.Because of the Dirac-like band structure for Tank Kit HgTe, the physics of such systems differs markedly from that of conventional quantum wires.Most strikingly, we show that the subband parameters for
