Majorana fermions have been an important subject of research for the past few years in the field of condensed matter physics. After the realization of Majorana zero mode (MZM) in a Kitaev-chain, studies on the systems of many-body MZMs have been increased. Throughout the previous research, it was found that a few of the Majorana zero mode 1-dimensional chain models possess a Tricritical Ising model conformal field theory as a critical point in their phase diagram. These critical points are supersymmetric and the supersymmetric behaviour remains at a near vicinity of them in their neighbouring gapped phase. This particular behaviour of these 1D strongly-interacting MZMs is believed to be interesting since the system possesses a supersymmetric phase whilst having a finite correlation length in the gapped phase. In this talk, I am going to explain the supersymmetric realization of these models in their gapped phase, try to understand their excitation levels with the concept of soliton/antisoliton states and try to find traces of supersymmetry in this system of a condensed matter.
