Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) with enhanced stability, high tunability, and strong spin-orbit coupling have shown great potential in vast applications. Here, we extend the already rich functionality of 2D HOIPs to a new territory, realizing topological superconductivity and Majorana modes for fault-tolerant quantum computation. Especially, we predict that room-temperature ferroelectric BA2PbCl4 (BA for benzylammonium) exhibits topological nodal-point superconductivity (NSC) and gapless Majorana modes on selected edges and ferroelectric domain walls when proximity-coupled to an s-wave superconductor and an in-plane Zeeman field, attractive for experimental verification and application. Since NSC is protected by spatial symmetry of 2D HOIPs, we envision more exotic topological superconducting states to be found in this class of materials due to their diverse noncentrosymmetric space groups, which may open a new avenue in the fields of HOIPs and topological superconductivity.
