The exchange coupling of individual magnetic atoms with the Cooper pairs of a superconducting substrate leads to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) bound states inside the superconducting energy gap. Their bound state energy and spatial extent can be probed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy [1-4]. Chains of magnetic adatoms have attracted particularly strong attention due to the formation of Majorana bound states at their terminations [5].

Here, we investigate individual magnetic atoms on Pb and 2H-NbSe2 substrates. We observe intriguing patterns of YSR states around the adatoms, which are determined by the adatom’s d-levels as well as local symmetries of the adsorption potential. When the adatoms are sufficiently close, the YSR states hybridize, eventually giving rise to YSR bands in atomic chains.
