Together with the groups of Professors Beena Kalisky, Oded Millo and Yossi Paltiel from Israel, we find edge states that are triggered by chiral molecules patterned onto a Nb thin film.
Using scanning-SQUID magnetometry, we have investigated nanoscale-size islands of Chiral molecules (ChMs) patterned on the surface of a Nb thin film. The results show a reduction in the local susceptibility along the edges of the molecular islands, which we ascribe to the formation of topological edge states that form upon adsorption of the ChMs on Nb.
