Description
Localized or propagating Majorana boundary modes are the key feature of topological superconductors. Lattices of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov bound states – Shiba lattices – that arise when magnetic adatoms are placed on the surface of a conventional superconductor can be used to create topological bands within the superconducting gap of the substrate. I will discuss results using scanning tunnelling microscopy to create and probe adatom lattices with single atom precision.Our results highlight the potential of Shiba lattices as a platform to design the topology and sample geometry of 2D superconductors.
