Abstract
We show that spin-polarized local density of states (LDOS) measurements can uniquely determine the chiral nature of topologically protected edge states surrounding a ferromagnetic island embedded in a conventional superconductor with spin-orbit coupling. The spin-polarized LDOS show a strong spin polarization directly tied to the normal direction of the edge with opposite polarizations on opposite sides of the island and with a distinct oscillatory pattern in energy.
