  • The Yu-Shiba-Rusinov state, arising from exchange coupling between a magnetic impurity and a superconductor, undergoes a quantum phase transition at a critical coupling. In a scanning tunnelling microscopy experiment, Karan et al. reveal distinct tunnelling spectra on each side of the transition in a magnetic field, which allows them to distinguish the free spin regime from the screened spin regime.

  • Magnetic impurities on superconductors lead to bound states within the superconducting gap, so called Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states. Here, the authors study tunneling from a vanadium STM tip to a V(100) surface and show that YSR states can be excited at very low temperature by applying a microwave signal.

  • 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.

  • Many features of a superconductor are encoded in the Josephson effect and understanding changes at the local level can help explain related phenomena. Here, the authors use scanning tunnelling microscopy to study local changes in the Josephson effect and how they relate to the transport channel configuration.

  • Magnetic impurities can induce a range of exotic phenomena, including the famous Kondo effect in metallic systems and bound states in superconductors. Here, using scanning tunneling microscopy, the authors investigate magnetic impurities on a superconducting vanadium tip and analyse the scaling between the Yu-Shiba-Rusinov state energy and the Kondo temperature.

  • The physics of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states which exist in the superconducting gap are a topical area of research and linked to exotic phenomena such as Majorana fermions. Here, the authors use scanning tunnelling microscopy to investigate the influence of impurities on a superconducting surface and the role impurity-substrate hybridisation has on such states.
