Abstract

Recently, the introduction of impurity states in the superconducting gap has received a lot of attention. Indeed, the search of a new superconducting state called topological superconductivity is strongly based in the combination of doping classical (s-wave) superconductors with magnetic impurities that arrange spins in a special order. We present our first results of controlled single-atom manipulation to assemble a chain of Cr atoms on a Bi2Pd superconductor [1,2]. Such magnetic impurities on different substrates allow us to explore many-body effects and exotic phenomena in different experimental spin systems giving an understanding on the parameters on each system.
