Spin-dependent tunneling between individual superconducting bound states

Klaus Kern, Haonan Huang, Jacob Senkpiel

Magnetic impurities on superconductors induce discrete bound levels inside the superconducting gap, known as Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states. YSR levels are fully spin polarized such that the tunneling between YSR states depends on their relative spin orient ...

Single channel Josephson effect in a high transmission atomic contact

Klaus Kern, Markus Etzkorn, Jacob Senkpiel

The Josephson effect in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is an excellent tool to probe the properties of a superconductor on a local scale. We use atomic manipulation in a low temperature STM to create mesoscopic single channel contacts and study the Jo ...

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

Klaus Kern, Haonan Huang, Jacob Senkpiel

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 ...

Attosecond coherent manipulation of electrons in tunneling microscopy

Klaus Kern

Nanoelectronic devices operating in the quantum regime require coherent manipulation and control over electrons at atomic length and time scales. We demonstrate coherent control over electrons in a tunnel junction of a scanning tunneling microscope by mean ...

Gold Chain Formation via Local Lifting of Surface Reconstruction by Hot Electron Injection on H-2(D-2)/Au(111)

Klaus Kern, Anna Maria Roslawska, Abhishek Grewal

The hexagonal close packed surface of gold shows a 22 x root 3 "herringbone" surface reconstruction which makes it unique among the (111) surfaces of all metals. This long-range energetically favored dislocation pattern appears in response to the strong te ...
