Abstract

The Kondo effect has regained interest due to scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) experiments carried out on single magnetic impurities, which were adsorbed on a noble metal surface [1, 2].

Notes

  1. 1.

    Later on it turned out that in reference [1] no single cerium atoms has been investigated but rather Ce clusters [3]. The observed spectroscopic signatures are not related to single-impurity Kondo physics but to clusters. Nevertheless the publication triggered a lot of research interest and studies of magnetic atoms and molecules adsorbed on noble metal surfaces.

  2. 2.

    Temperature dependent properties of various systems in the Kondo regime follow a universal function that depends only on the ratio \(T/T_{k}\).

  3. 3.

    For well-defined parameters the Anderson model can be transformed to the s-d model [24].

  4. 4.

    According to R. Žitko and T. Pruschke the ratio between the half-width at half maximum (HWHM) and the Kondo temperature is \(\Delta_{k} = 3.7\,k_{B} T_{k}\) [41].
