Proximity-effect bilayers with magnetic impurities: The Abrikosov-Gor'kov limit
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
A Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductor with a surface layer contaminated by magnetic impurities is considered, in the case in which Abrikosov-Gor'kov theory holds for the contaminated layer. This structure is modeled as a proximity-effect bilayer. It is shown that the tunneling density of states can show significant gap depression even though the transition temperature is unaffected, complicating the interpretation of experiments sensitive to the presence of pair breaking.
