Quantum phase transitions and the role of impurity-substrate hybridization in Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states

Klaus Kern, Jacob Senkpiel, Haonan Huang

Spin-dependent scattering from magnetic impurities inside a superconductor gives rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states within the superconducting gap. They can be modeled by the largely equivalent Kondo or Anderson impurity models. The role of the magnetic ...
