摘要
Majorana fermions (MFs) in a topological superconductor exhibit anisotropic electromagnetic responses, called Majorana multipole responses, when MFs are degenerate under time-reversal and crystalline symmetries. In time-reversal symmetric systems, the Majorana multipole response relates to Cooper pair symmetry in the underlying superconducting material, which provides a way to identify pairing symmetries through surface- spin-sensitive measurements. Here, we extend the concept of Majorana multipole response to systems with magnetic point group symmetry that break time-reversal symmetry and clarify how the response of MFs includes information about underlying superconductors. From a topological classification of symmetry-protected MFs and an effective surface theory, we classify possible magnetic and electric responses for MFs, which manifests a direct connection to Cooper pair symmetry for a symmetry-enforced pair of MFs. Additionally, we find several time-reversal-even higher-order multipole responses, such as the quadrupole response, which are forbidden in time-reversal symmetric systems, whereby indicating breaking of time-reversal symmetry. The theory is applied to the odd-parity chiral superconductor UTe2 2 and the ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe, demonstrating the appearance of a magnetic quadrupole response on a surface.
