Abstract
Aluminum doped with Manganese (AlMn) forms a superconducting alloy with the transition temperature suppressed by the added Manganese. We present quasiparticle density of states measurements on superconducting AlMn alloys made by current-voltage measurements on normalmetal/ insulator/supercondutor tunnel junctions. The density of states remains BCS-like with a reduced gap, matching the predictions of Kaiser. However we measure additional subgap states not predicted by Kaiser, and demonstrate that these subgap states will harm some potential applications.Citation
