Using double quantum dots as the weak link of a Josephson junction, we realize the superconducting analog of the celebrated two-impurity Kondo model. The device shows a cusped current-voltage characteristic, which can be modelled by an…
A magnetic impurity interacting with a superconductor develops a rich excitation spectrum formed by superposition of quasiparticles and spin states, which appear as Yu-Shiba-Rusinov and spin-flip excitations in tunneling spectra. Here, we…
It has been predicted theoretically and found experimentally that magnetic impurities induce localized bound states within the superconducting energy gap, called Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states. Combining symmetry analysis with experimental…
We study the subgap Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states in the Richardson's model of a superconductor with a magnetic impurity for different electron pairing strengths from the weak-coupling Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) regime to the…
Magnetic adatoms on s-wave superconductors induce bound states inside the superconducting gap, called Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states (YSR). The anisotropy of the Fermi surface determines the spatial extension of bound states in a…
A magnetic impurity on a superconducting substrate induces in-gap Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) bound states, whose intricate spatial structure crucially influences the possibilities of engineering collective impurity states. By means of a…
Quantum magnetic impurities give rise to a wealth of phenomena attracting tremendous research interest in recent years. On a normal metal, magnetic impurities generate the correlation-driven Kondo effect. On a superconductor, bound states…
Superconductors containing magnetic impurities exhibit intriguing phenomena derived from the competition between Cooper pairing and Kondo screening. At the heart of this competition are the Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (Shiba) states which arise from…
We study subgap states induced by a single impurity in an s-wave superconductor with suppressed pairing. For concreteness, we consider a bulk superconductor containing a normal spherical region. We find that a point impurity in this system…
Magnetic impurities on superconductors lead to bound states within the superconducting gap, so called Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states. They are parity protected, which enhances their lifetime, but makes it more difficult to excite them. Here,…
The impact of superconducting correlations on localized electronic states is important for a wide range of experiments in fundamental and applied superconductivity (SC). This includes scanning tunneling microscopy of atomic impurities at…
We study the Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in materials with bulk band inversion such as iron-based topological superconductors or doped topological insulators. We show that the structure of the YSR state spectrum depends on the doping level…
We theoretically study the effect of a magnetic field on quasicrystalline superconductors, by modelling them as the attractive Hubbard model on the Penrose-tiling structure. We find that at low temperatures and under a high magnetic field…
The hybridization of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in dimers of magnetic impurities leads to molecular-like bonding and antibonding modes. In many-impurity systems, the interaction gives rise to YSR bands and can even result in the formation of a…
Recent $\mu$SR measurements revealed remarkable signatures of spontaneous magnetism coexisting with superconductivity in elemental rhenium. Here we provide a quantitative theory that uncovers the nature of the superconducting instability by…
Spin-dependent scattering from magnetic impurities inside a superconductor gives rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states within the superconducting gap. As such, YSR states have been very successfully modeled with an effective scattering…
Wave functions of low-energy quasiparticle subgap states in d-wave superconducting rings, threaded by Aharonov-Bohm magnetic flux, are found analytically. The respective energies are closest to the midgap position at small magnetic fluxes…
We re-examine the problem of a magnetic impurity coupled to a superconductor focusing on the role of quantum fluctuations. We study in detail, a system that consists of a one-dimensional charge conserving spin-singlet superconductor coupled…
We study the bound state spectrum and 0-$\pi$ transitions in ballistic quasi-1D superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator/superconductor (S/FI/S) Josephson junctions. In addition to the Andreev bound states, stemming from the phase coherence,…
We study a chain of magnetic moments exchange coupled to a conventional three dimensional superconductor. In the normal state the chain orders into a collinear configuration, while in the superconducting phase we find that ferromagnetism is…
