Spatially dispersing Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in the unconventional superconductor FeTe0.55Se0.45

The zero-bias state in FeTe0.55Se0.45 is conjectured to be related to Majorana physics, but most in-gap impurity states are not well understood. Here, the authors detect spatially dispersing Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states which can be tuned using an STM tip with varying tip-sample distance.
