    Surface density of states and topological edge states in non-centrosymmetric superconductors

    We study Andreev bound state (ABS) and surface density of state (SDOS) of non-centrosymmetric superconductor where spin-singlet dd-wave pairing mixes with spin-triplet pp (or f)f)-wave one by spin-orbit coupling. For dxy+pd_{xy} + p-wave pairing, ABS appears as a zero energy state. The present ABS is a Majorana edge mode preserving the time reversal symmetry. We calculate topological invariant number and discuss the relevance to a single Majorana edge mode. In the presence of the Majorana edge mode, the SDOS depends strongly on the direction of the Zeeman field.Comment: 10 pages, 15 figure
