abstract = {Chains of magnetic atoms with either strong spin-orbit
coupling or spiral magnetic order which are
proximity-coupled to superconducting substrates can host
topologically non-trivial Majorana bound states. The
experimental signature of these states consists of spectral
weight at the Fermi energy which is spatially localized near
the ends of the chain. However, topologically trivial
Yu-Shiba-Rusinov in-gap states localized near the ends of
the chain can lead to similar spectra. Here, we explore a
protocol to disentangle these contributions by artificially
augmenting a candidate Majorana spin chain with
orbitally-compatible nonmagnetic atoms. Combining scanning
tunneling spectroscopy with ab-initio and tight-binding
calculations, we realize a sharp spatial transition between
the proximity-coupled spiral magnetic order and the
non-magnetic superconducting wire termination, with
persistent zero-energy spectral weight localized at either
end of the magnetic spiral. Our findings open a new path
towards the control of the spatial position of in-gap end
states, trivial or Majorana, via different chain
terminations, and the realization of designer Majorana chain
networks for demonstrating topological quantum computation.},
