= Majorana zero mode at a mass domain wall
{c}

Two counterpropagating Majorana fields coupled by a real mass $m(x)$ bind a Majorana zero mode when $m$ changes sign. Its envelope is proportional to $\exp[-\int^x m(s)ds/(\hbar v)]$ up to orientation conventions, so a constant asymptotic mass gives localization length $\hbar v/|m|$.
