The topological properties of magnetic chains placed on superconductors can be derived from momentum-space quantities related to an infinite chain. The topologically non-trivial band structure gives rise to Majorana end states at zero energy in finite chains.
However, without a translational symmetric system in hand, it is also possible to identify the signatures of the band topology in real-space calculations of finite chains based on the superconducting order parameter and the quasiparticle density of states. Also the spectrum of the chain can be approximated based on the quasiparticle spectrum obtained from the Fourier transformed density of states.
In this talk, I apply this theory to Fe chains on Au/Nb(110) [1] and Mn chains on Nb(110) and study the topology of the band structure.
