Abstract
Coupled-wire constructions have been widely applied to quantum Hall systems and symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases. In this Letter, we use the coupled one-dimensional nonchiral Luttinger liquids with domain-wall structured mass terms as quantum wires to construct crystalline higher-order topological superconductors (HOTSCs) in two-dimensional (2D) interacting fermionic systems by two representative examples: a -symmetric class-D HOTSC and a -symmetric class-BDI HOTSC, with Majorana corner modes on the edge. Furthermore, based on the coupled-wire constructions, the quantum phase transitions between different phases of 2D HOTSCs by tuning the interwire coupling are investigated in a straightforward way.
