Abstract
Here, we review the physical insights obtained by scanning tunneling microscopy into single magnetic adsorbates on the s-wave superconductor lead (Pb). We explore the tunneling processes into Shiba states, show how magnetic anisotropy affects many-body excitations, and determine the crossing of the many-body ground state through a quantum phase transition. Finally, we discuss the coupling of impurities into dimers and chains and their relation to Majorana physics.
