Sumario:We study the effect of random field disorder on two dimensional topological superconductors based on the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. A phase transition from the phase coherent state to the disordered state is identified numerically. The two phases can be characterized by two different correlation functions. In the phase coherent state, Majorana Fermion states form and may be influenced by the interaction between the vortex and the antivortex. The local density of states is calculated, which may be used to distinguish these two phases.
