Abstract
Reconstructed surfaces of the A15-compound superconductor VSi(100) that are possibly induced by the segregation of bulk impurities serve as platforms to study the dependence of Yu–Shiba–Rusinov states induced by a single Fe atom on the adsorption site. Their number, energy and electron–hole asymmetry vary strongly with the atomic environment of the Fe atom. These variations are indicative of different Fe -orbitals being active in the site-dependent exchange coupling with the substrate Cooper pairs. Spatially resolved spectroscopy gives rise to a short decay length of the Yu–Shiba–Rusinov states and thereby suggests the three-dimensional character of the scattering process underlying the bound states.
期刊介绍:
Surface Science is devoted to elucidating the fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics occurring at a wide range of surfaces and interfaces and to disseminating this knowledge fast. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
• model systems (e.g. in Ultra High Vacuum) under well-controlled reactive conditions
• nanoscale science and engineering, including manipulation of matter at the atomic/molecular scale and assembly phenomena
• reactivity of surfaces as related to various applied areas including heterogeneous catalysis, chemistry at electrified interfaces, and semiconductors functionalization
• phenomena at interfaces relevant to energy storage and conversion, and fuels production and utilization
• surface reactivity for environmental protection and pollution remediation
• interactions at surfaces of soft matter, including polymers and biomaterials.
Both experimental and theoretical work, including modeling, is within the scope of the journal. Work published in Surface Science reaches a wide readership, from chemistry and physics to biology and materials science and engineering, providing an excellent forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and broad dissemination of scientific discoveries.
