By varying the superconducting gap Δ with a magnetic field B we investigated the transition from strong coupling Δ≪T K to weak-coupling Δ≫T K, where T K is the Kondo temperature. Below the critical field, we observe a persisting zero-bias Kondo resonance that vanishes only for low B or higher temperatures, leaving the room to more robust subgap structures at bias voltages between Δ and 2Δ. For strong and approximately symmetric tunnel couplings, a Josephson supercurrent is observed in addition to the Kondo peak. We ascribe the coexistence of a Kondo resonance and a superconducting gap to a significant density of intragap quasiparticle states, and the finite-bias subgap structures to tunneling through Shiba states. Our results, supported by numerical calculations, own relevance also in relation to tunnel-spectroscopy experiments aiming at the observation of Majorana fermions in hybrid nanostructures."}],"_id":"1758","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1207.1259"}],"doi":"10.1103/PhysRevLett.109.186802","author":[{"first_name":"Eduardo","full_name":"Lee, Eduardo J","last_name":"Lee"},{"full_name":"Jiang, Xiaocheng","first_name":"Xiaocheng","last_name":"Jiang"},{"last_name":"Aguado","first_name":"Ramón","full_name":"Aguado, Ramón"},{"full_name":"Georgios Katsaros","first_name":"Georgios","id":"38DB5788-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Katsaros"},{"last_name":"Lieber","full_name":"Lieber, Charles M","first_name":"Charles"},{"full_name":"De Franceschi, Silvano","first_name":"Silvano","last_name":"De Franceschi"}],"quality_controlled":0,"title":"Zero-bias anomaly in a nanowire quantum dot coupled to superconductors","citation":{"chicago":"Lee, Eduardo, Xiaocheng Jiang, Ramón Aguado, Georgios Katsaros, Charles Lieber, and Silvano De Franceschi. “Zero-Bias Anomaly in a Nanowire Quantum Dot Coupled to Superconductors.” <i>Physical Review Letters</i>.
