Abstract
The Majorana bound state can be realized in one dimensional chain, in form of two well localized and separated states at both ends of the chain. In this paper, we discuss the case when the potential is smeared at one end of the system. In our investigation, we assume the smearing in form of a quadratic function of position. We show that the smearing potential lead to the emergence of extra in-gap states, and effectively decrease the local gap (around the smeared potential). The Majorana states are still preserved in the system, however, their localization depend on the smearing. Moreover, the symmetric localization of the Majorana states from both side of the system is no longer preserved in the presence of the smearing potential.
