Gap States in Dilute Magnetic Alloy Superconductors

Abstract
We study states in the superconducting gap induced by magnetic impurities using self-consistent quantum Monte Carlo with maximum entropy and formally exact analytic continuation methods. The magnetic impurity susceptibility has different characteristics for T0Tc0 and T0Tc0 ( T0: Kondo temperature; Tc0: superconducting transition temperature) due to the crossover between a doublet and a singlet ground state. We systematically study the location and the weight of the gap states and the gap parameter as a function of T0/Tc0 and the concentration of the impurities.
