Abstract
We study the influence of superconductivity on the formation of the localized magnetic moment for a single-level quantum impurity embedded in an s-wave Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) superconducting medium, modeled by single-impurity Anderson Hamiltonian. We have combined Bogoliubov transformation with Green’s function method within self-consistent Hartree–Fock mean field approximation to analyze the conditions necessary in metal (in the superconducting) for the formation of the magnetic moment at the impurity site for the low-frequency limit |ω| ≪ Δsc as well as for the finite superconducting gap Δsc. We have compared these results with other theoretical results and with the single-level quantum impurity embedded in the normal metallic host. Further, we analyze the spectral density of the quantum impurity embedded in a superconducting host to study the sub-gap states as a function of impurity parameters.
