Your code with the matrix is not correct because your nodes are on same row, they are separated by & and there is only one \ in your matrix.



If you want to use a matrix, I propose following code which loads matrix library and uses a matrix of nodes to simplify syntax.



But I think second solution is better, just use above=0pt of ... and you'll get two nodes one above the other.



documentclass[tikz, margin=1pt]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{positioning, matrix}
tikzset{ball/.style={draw, circle, minimum size=.1cm}}

begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}

matrix[matrix of nodes, nodes={draw, ball}, row sep=0pt]{
b2\
b1\
};

end{tikzpicture}

begin{tikzpicture}
node[ball] (b1) {b1};
node[ball, above=0pt of b1] (b2) {b2};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
