Abstract
The Kondo effect has become a hallmark of coherent electron transport in a variety of nanostructures ranging from lithographically-defined semiconductors [1] to carbon nanotubes [2] and molecules [3, 4]. Kondo first introduced a phenomenological Hamiltonian [5] to describe how localized spin S couples antiferromagnetically with strength J to spins s of electrons in the surrounding reservoir.

In dilute rare earth/actinide alloys, thermodynamic evidence is largely compatible with 2ck, but the inability to reconcile transport data with 2ck theory has left the final state of understanding inconclusive. In the putative atomic two-level system 2ck measured by Ralph et al. in narrow metal constrictions [14,15] and more recently by Cichorek et al. in bulk metallic glasses [16], the transport data nicely match the expected scaling behavior, but a fundamental controversy persists about whether the original (near-degenerate but strongly-coupled two-level system) model Hamiltonian can even exist in a real physical system
