Reconstructed conventional bulk-boundary correspondence in the non-Hermitian s -wave nodal-ring superconductor

2021 
Recently, the interplay between the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) and topological phases has attracted a lot of attention. When the NHSE occurs in a topological system, the conventional bulk-boundary correspondence (BBC) based on the Bloch band theory is destroyed. In this work, we investigate a non-Hermitian nodal-ring semimetal with the $s$-wave superconducting (SC) term. We find that the SC term introduces the intrinsic coupling between the different general Brillouin zones (GBZs) of the particle and hole subbands in our model, which drives the total GBZ to the BZ. Furthermore, when the SC term is finite, we show a possibility that the GBZ is the same as the BZ. We also find that the Bloch winding number of the quasi-one-dimensional model can predict the number of Majorana zero states faithfully in this case, which implies that the conventional BBC is reconstructed in our model. The localization strengths of the Majorana zero states are also calculated to show the reconstruction of conventional BBC. The finite-size effect, related experimental regimes in the electric circuit, and the fragility of this reconstructed conventional BBC are also discussed in this work.
