| contents | Topological superconductivity is currently one of the prime interests, given the properties of its exotic nature of chiral edge states. A broken time-reversal symmetry (TRS) is an essential ingredient in the recipe of a chiral edge state. The Haldane model is one of the many factors that can break TRS in a system. Thus, we explore the possibility of topological superconductivity in the Haldane model under the influence of a conventional superconductor. The edge states originating from such recipes mostly remain outside the superconducting gap. Contrary to this, in the presence of spin-orbit coupling, the edge modes lie within the superconducting gap, and can lead to a gapless state for some range of parameters. Moreover, we use band inversion and projection on the real-space lattice to confirm the topological and chiral nature of the obtained edge states. |
