الوصف: We create ordered islands of magnetically anisotropic nickelocene molecules on a Pb (111) substrate. By using inelastic electron tunneling spectra (IETS) and density functional theory, we characterize the magnetic response of these islands. This allows us to conclude that the islands present local and collective magnetic excitations. Furthermore, we show that nickelocene islands present complex non-collinear spin patterns on the superconducting Pb (111) surface, opening the possibility of using molecular arrays to engineer spin textures with important implications on topological superconductivity.
