physics, in condensed matter physics. In contrast to their particle physics counterparts …

Spin-orbit coupling induced splitting of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in antiferromagnetic dimers

P Beck, L Schneider, L Rózsa, K Palotás… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Magnetic atoms coupled to the Cooper pairs of a superconductor induce Yu-Shiba-Rusinov

Two-dimensional chiral topological superconductivity in Shiba lattices

J Li, T Neupert, Z Wang, AH MacDonald… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
The chiral p-wave superconductor is the archetypal example of a state of matter that
supports non-Abelian anyons, a highly desired type of exotic quasiparticle. With this, it is …

Strong localization of Majorana end states in chains of magnetic adatoms

Y Peng, F Pientka, LI Glazman, F Von Oppen - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
A recent experiment [Nadj-Perge et al, Science 346, 602 (2014)] gives possible evidence for
Majorana bound states in chains of magnetic adatoms placed on a superconductor. While …
