Spinon Majorana fermions
  A realization of Majorana fermions is proposed in the frustrated magnets via the topological proximity effect. Specifically, we consider a theoretical model, where a topological insulator is coupled to a frustrated magnetic material through the spin exchange interaction. Using the renormalization group-based self-consistent mean-field approach, and calculating the self-energy correction due to the topological insulator, we find that the spin texture and the spin-momentum locking of the Dirac cone will be inherited by the spinons in the nearby frustrated magnets. This leads to a particular topological state of matter that supports the Majorana excitations. Unlike the conventional realization in SC systems, these Majorana fermions are the combination of spinons and anti-spinons, rather than electrons and holes. They can participate in the transport of spinons, leading to nontrivial properties of the spin transport.
