Chromium(II) bromide is an inorganic two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals material. With molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE), superconducting islands can be formed after evaporating chromium(II) bromide onto a niobium diselenide substrate. Measurements have been conducted on the islands and at the edge of the islands with low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. At the edge of the islands, a subgap peak could be identified from the dI/dV spectrum, suggesting the existence of an in-gap state. Our discovery is the first observation in the chromium(II) bromide-niobium diselenide heterostructure system, providing an interesting comparison with the reported Majorana zero energy mode at the edge of chromium(III) bromide islands growing on the same substrate.
