A magnetic impurity interacting with a superconductor develops rich excitation spectrum formed by superposition of quasiparticles and spin states, which appear as Yu-Shiba-Rusinov spin-flip excitations in tunneling spectra. Here, we show that electrons can also excite superconducting pair-breaking transition the presence impurities, is hidden for on bare superconductors. Combining scanning spectroscopy theoretical modeling, map Fe-porphyrin molecule Au/V(100) proximitized surface into...
Magnetic molecules deposited on surfaces are a promising platform to individually address and manipulate spins. Long spin excitation lifetimes necessary utilize them in quantum information processing data storage. Normally, coupling of the molecular with conduction electrons metallic causes fast relaxation excitations into ground state. However, presence superconducting paring effects substrate can protect excited from decaying. In this work, we show that proximity-induced gold film sustain...
Open-shell polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent promising building blocks for carbon-based functional magnetic materials. Their properties stem from the presence of unpaired electrons localized in radical states π character. Consequently, these materials are inclined to exhibit spin delocalization, form extended collective states, and respond flexibility molecular backbones. However, they also highly reactive, requiring structural strategies protect reacting with environment....
