Title: Majorana bound states in hybrid 2D Josephson junctions with ferromagnetic insulators

Abstract:We consider a Josephson junction consisting of superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator (S/FI) bilayers as electrodes which proximizes a nearby 2D electron gas. We discuss the interplay between the superconducting and magnetic proximity effects and the conditions under which the structure undergoes topological transitions. We discuss a transfer matrix approach to the 2D bound state problem that reduces the problem to an effective 1D Hamiltonian, allowing straightforward study the structure. We consider a narrow channel coupled with multiple ferromagnetic superconducting fingers, and discuss how the bound states can be spatially controlled by tuning the superconducting phases.
