Probing resonant Andreev reflections from Yu-Shiba-Rusinov
states</b></font><br>
<br>
<div class="abstract tex"> Exchange coupling of magnetic adsorbates
to a superconducting substrate leads to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR)
states within the superconducting energy gap. These can be probed
by scanning tunneling spectroscopy as a pair of resonances at
positive and negative bias voltage and over a wide range of tunnel
conductances. At low tunneling rates, the current is carried by
single-electron processes, where each excitation is sufficiently
quickly followed by a relaxation into the energetic continuum.
Upon increasing the junction conductance, the relaxation rates
suppress single-electron tunneling and resonant Andreev processes
start to dominate the transport process. The cross-over of these
processes is expressed in the variation of the ratio of YSR peak
height at positive and negative bias voltage [1]. Here, we
investigate these transport processes by photon-assisted
tunneling. While applying highfrequency radiation to the tunneling
junction, we record the differential conductance spectra in the
low and high-conductance regime. At low conductance, the YSR
states exhibit symmetrically spaced sidebands with their spacing
directly evidencing single-electron tunneling. Surprisingly, at
large junction conductance, the spacing remains the same while the
patterns become asymmetric. We show that this asymmetry is direct
evidence of a resonant Andreev reflection with tunneling threshold
conditions imposed on its electron and hole component [2]. We
suggest that photon-assisted tunneling can be a powerful tool for
the determination of the nature of the charge carriers in a single
tunneling event.<br>
