Abstract We construct a three-dimensional topological superconductor Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonian with the normal state being a three-dimensional topological insulator. By introducing inter-orbital spin-triplet pairings term $\varDelta_3$, there are topological Majorana nodes in the bulk and they are connected by Majorana Fermi arcs on the surface, similar to the case of Weyl semimetal. Furthermore, by adding an inversion-breaking term to the normal state, momentum-independent pairing terms with different parities can coexist in the BdG Hamiltonian, which creates more Majorana modes similar to Andreev bound states and a richer phase diagram.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
