Fig. 2: Nature of intermediate gapless phase (IGP).

a The DOS in the Majorana metal shows a logarithmic scaling behavior explaining the origin of states at zero energy. The data are obtained for a system with λ = 0.25, 80 × 80 unit cells, averaging over 20 samples with \({\overline{W}}_{p}=0.05\). b Schematic illustration of a minigap opening due to scattering between Majorana Bloch states induced by fluctuating flux disorder. c The spectral function (averaged over 50 samples) of itinerant Majoranas is shown along a high symmetry cut for the IGP, which matches well with iPEPS results for spin-spin correlations, S₁(k, ω), displayed in d. The white dashed lines in c and d are eye-guiding lines that emphasize the shape of the spectra and the presence of the gap.
