Topological superconductivity on a kagome magnet coupled to a Rashba superconductor

The study investigated how coupling a quantum anomalous Hall kagome magnet to a Rashba superconductor induces topological superconductivity. While strong exchange coupling alone failed, proximity to the Rashba material successfully created phases characterized by odd Chern numbers. This demonstrates that this heterostructure forms topological superconductors and shows magnetic ordering is sensitive to the proximity effect.
