| Summary: | Unconventional superconductivity induced by the magnetic moments in a conventional spin-singlet s-wave superconductor is theoretically studied. By choosing the spin directions of these moments, one can design spinless pairing states appearing within the s-wave superconducting energy gap. It is found that the helix spins produce px + py-wave state while the skyrmion crystal configuration px + ipy-wave like state. Nodes in the energy gap and the zero energy flat band of Majorana edge states exist in the former one, while the chiral Majorana channels along edges of the sample and the zero energy Majorana bound state at the core of the vortex appear in the latter case. : 9 pages including Supplemental Material, 9 figures |
