• the Majorana quasiparticles, focusing on their magnetic polarization that has been recently reported by S. Jeon et al. (Science 2017, 358, 772). Finally, we study leakage of these polarized Majorana quasiparticles into side-attached nanoscopic regions and confront them with the subgap Kondo effect

Keywords: bound states in superconductors; Majorana quasiparticles; subgap Kondo effect; Introduction Magnetism is usually detrimental to superconductivity because it breaks the Cooper pairs (at the critical field strength Hc2). There are, however, a few

• the Kondo and the leaking Majorana quasiparticle can be confronted with each other. These magnetically polarized YSR and Majorana quasiparticles as well as the subgap Kondo effect can be experimentally verified using tunneling heterostructures with ferromagnetic lead (STM tip).
