Tunneling processes through magnetic impurities on superconducting surfaces: Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states and the Josephson effect

Magnetic impurities generate a wealth of phenomena on surfaces. On metals, conducting electrons screen the magnetic moment giving rise to the Kondo effect. On superconductors, the Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states emerge inside the superconducting gap due to t ...

MeV-scale seesaw and leptogenesis

Marco Drewes, Valerie Fiona Domcke, Michele Lucente

We study the type-I seesaw model with three right-handed neutrinos and Majorana masses below the pion mass. In this mass range, the model parameter space is not only strongly constrained by the requirement to explain the light neutrino masses, but also by ...

Electric dipole moment constraints on CP-violating heavy-quark Yukawas at next-to-leading order

Emmanuel Stamou

Electric dipole moments are sensitive probes of new phases in the Higgs Yukawa couplings. We calculate the complete two-loop QCD anomalous dimension matrix for the mixing of CP-odd scalar and tensor operators and apply our results for a phenomenological st ...

Tunnelling dynamics between superconducting bound states at the atomic limit

Klaus Kern, Jacob Senkpiel, Haonan Huang

A magnetic impurity is placed on the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope, allowing direct tunnelling between two Yu-Shiba-Rusinov bound states. This technique can probe and enhance the impurity state lifetime. There is a limit to the miniaturization of ...

Bosonic superfluid transport in a quantum point contact

Jean-Philippe Brantut

We present a microscopic theory of heat and particle transport of an interacting, low-temperature Bose- Einstein condensate in a quantum point contact.We show that, in contrast to charged, fermionic superconductors, bosonic systems feature tunneling proces ...

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 ...

Dirac vs. Majorana HNLs (and their oscillations) at SHiP

SHiP is a proposed high-intensity beam dump experiment set to operate at the CERN SPS. It is expected to have an unprecedented sensitivity to a variety of models containing feebly interacting particles, such as Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs). Two HNLs or mor ...

Chiral fermion asymmetry in high-energy plasma simulations

The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a quantum relativistic effect that describes the appearance of an additional electric current along a magnetic field. It is caused by an asymmetry between the number densities of left- and right-handed fermions, which ca ...

Anomalous non-conservation of fermion/chiral number in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature (vol 4, 26, 2018)

Daniel Garcia Figueroa

To confront the numerical results of Gamma(diff)with the analytical results from section 2.3, we originally considered the theoretical prediction for the diffusion rate given by eq. (2.17), which we re-wrote in eq. (4.25). ...

Emergence of Nontrivial Low-Energy Dirac Fermions in Antiferromagnetic EuCd2As2

Vladimir N. Strocov, Joël Mesot, Pierre Richard, Han Wang, Hang Li

Parity-time symmetry plays an essential role for the formation of Dirac states in Dirac semimetals. So far, all of the experimentally identified topologically nontrivial Dirac semimetals (DSMs) possess both parity and time reversal symmetry. The realizatio ...
