摘要
Motivated by recent experiments, we study the electronic structure near impurities in the chains of YBa2Cu3O6+x. Using a model of proximity induced chain superconductivity, we show that a resonance state in the chain density of states is induced only by a magnetic impurity. The spatial form of the resonance reflects the particle-hole nature of chain superconductivity and therefore distinguishes it from other broken symmetry phases. Because of quantum interference effects between impurities, the chains can undergo a quantum phase transition into a polarized state.
