Fig. 5: Simulated surface local density of states (LDOS) patterns of dislocation Majorana bound states (dMBSs).

a The zero-energy top surface LDOS of two dMBSs that are far away, with each dislocation core trapping a well-defined zero mode. The inset is a zoom-in plot around the dislocation core, which clearly shows the spatial anisotropy of the Majorana wavefunction. By doing a line cut across the dislocation following the green reference line, energy-dependent LDOS plots at each site are shown in (b), which shows a sharp zero-energy LDOS peak. The two circles on the horizontal axis indicate the position of the surface magnetic gap. When the two dislocations are brought together in (c), the zero-energy LDOS peak splits due to Majorana hybridizations, as shown in (d).
