We evaluate under which conditions Majorana edge states can form and obtain the topological phase diagram. For two-dimensional interfaces we additionally extract the spontaneous surface current resulting from the chiral edge states. We investigate these properties using both analytical methods as well as numerical tight-binding calculations.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess530Topological superconductivity in artificial heterostructuresmasterThesis
