Recent studies proposed the formation of Shiba(YSR) bands in chains of magnetic atoms on superconductors in the presence of spin-orbit coupling as a platform to realize topological superconductivity[1]. However, construction of nanostructures on superconducting materials by atomic manipulation resulted elusive to date, preventing the study of the evolution from single-atom YSR states to Majorana chains.
We compare the YSR excitation spectra of nanostructures built with transition metal adatoms on the surface of β -Bi2Pd [2]. We show these excitations depend on the adsorption state, the mutual interaction, and also track variations due to magnetic fields. Our results provide an insight into the nature of magnetic interactions on a superconductor at the atomic scale at the early stages of chain formation.
