Magnetic impurities in superconducting materials induce Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states inside the superconducting energy gap due to the exchange coupling between the impurity and the Cooper pair condensate. The superconductor 2H-NbSe2 is a transition metal dichalcogenide compound with a strong 2D character because of the weak van der Waals interaction between its layers. Furthermore, the material shows a transition to a charge density wave (CDW) state at low temperatures.
We use low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy for the investigation of single Fe adatoms on 2H-NbSe2. The Fe adatoms reside in two different adsorption sites which induce significant differences in the energy of the d resonances as well as of the YSR states. A further characterization hints towards an influence of the CDW of the 2H-NbSe2 surface on the energy of the YSR states.
