Hi,
Looking at the code you initially posted, it seems that you do not have any spin degree of freedom in your system. This is a necessary condition for Majoranas. Look again more closely at the Hamiltonians from the literature (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1003.1145). You will see that there are two kinds of Pauli matrices (usually denoted with sigma and tau respectively), one which acts on the spin space, and one which acts on the particle-hole space.
Disregard all this, I looked a bit closer and saw you were using Kitaev's model directly Sorry for the noise! Joe
