Magnetic impurities coupled to superconductors give rise to a plethora of rich physics such as sub-gap states like Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states and Majorana zero modes, which constitute key mechanisms on the road towards a topological quantum computer. The interplay of spin-orbit coupling and (non-collinear) magnetism enrich the complexity and topological nature of the in-gap states hosted in proximity-induced superconductors. However, little is known about the impact of superconductivity on the different contributions to the magnetic exchange interactions, like the bilinear isotropic exchange and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction — and in turn the impact on the magnetic textures. In this work, we propose a method for the extraction of the tensor of exchange interactions in the superconducting regime as described in the framework of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes method. We investigate various 3d monolayers deposited on the Nb(110) surface based on our multi-orbital tight-binding code TITAN.
