Abstract

Kagome lattices constitute versatile platforms for studying paradigmatic correlated phases. While molecular self-assembly of kagome structures on metallic substrates is promising, it is challenging to realize pristine kagome properties because of hybridization with the bulk degrees of freedom and modified electron-electron interactions. We suggest that a superconducting substrate offers an compelling platform for realizing a magnetic kagome lattice. Exchange coupling induces kagome-derived bands at the interface, which are protected from the bulk by the superconducting energy gap. We realize a magnetic kagome lattice on a superconductor by depositing Fe-porphin-chloride molecules on Pb(111) and using temperature-activated de-chlorination and self-assembly. This allows us to control the formation of smaller kagome precursors and long-range ordered kagome islands. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy at 1.6 K, we identify Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states inside the superconducting energy gap and track their hybridization from the precursors to larger islands, where the kagome lattice induces extended YSR bands. These YSR-derived kagome bands inside the superconducting energy gap allow for long-range coupling and induced pairing correlations, motivating further studies to resolve possible spin-liquid or Kondo-lattice-type behavior.
