Abstract:& nbsp\;Molecular nanostructures can now be built with atom precision by com bining chemical routes on the surface of gold\, unveiling a new paradigm f or studying electronic correlations and spin interactions at the molecular scale. Extend these routes to superconductors would open the door of nove l methods for addressing these molecular states individually. But supercon ductors don’t like molecules. Here we show how a thin gold film grown on niobium provides an ideal surface that supports both on-surface chemistry and superconducting correlations. On this platform\, chains of magnetic t riangulene units retain their topological edge states\, whose interaction with the superconductor switches with the odd or even length of the chain. The work opens a route to studying\, with atomic precision\, how molecula r magnetism\, topology and superconductivity interact in the same system.< /p>\n

Bio: José Ignacio (Nacho) Pascual is since 2012 an Ikerbasque Research Professor at CIC nanoGUNE. His research explores qu antum phenomena at the atomic scale using scanning probe microscopies\, wi th particular interest in unconventional superconductivity\, molecular mag netism\, and atomically precise graphene nanostructures.

\n

Nacho ear ned his PhD in Physical Sciences from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (1998) and developed his career across leading research institutions inclu ding the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft\, ICMAB-CSIC\, and the Freie Universität Berlin\, where he was appointed Professor of Physics in 2008. He joined n anoGUNE in 2012 and currently leads a team of 12 researchers.
