Yu-Shiba-Rusinov States in Ising Superconductors
arXiv:2605.12758 · doi:10.1103/w7dl-pxfk
Abstract
The nature of the superconducting state in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides remains under active debate. A widely used description invokes so-called \textit{Ising superconductivity}. In this work, we investigate theoretically this pairing state by employing single magnetic impurities as local probes of the superconducting condensate. We analyze the formation of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov bound states in the presence of Ising spin-orbit coupling and an in-plane magnetic field to study how their spectral properties encode the underlying pairing structure. We identify distinct features in the bound-state spectrum and tunneling response that differentiate this system from conventional superconductors. Our results demonstrate that magnetic impurities provide a sensitive probe of the structure of the superconducting state and yield experimentally accessible signatures of unconventional aspects of Ising superconductivity.
