In recent years inelastic spin-flip spectroscopy using a low-temperature scanning tunneling
microscope has been a very successful tool for studying not only individual spins but also …

Scanning tunnelling microscopy and break-junction experiments realize metallic and
molecular nanocontacts that act as ideal one-dimensional channels between macroscopic …

The Kondo effect arises due to the interaction between a localized spin and the electrons of
a surrounding host. Studies of individual magnetic impurities by scanning tunneling …

The entanglement of quantum states is both a central concept in fundamental physics and a
potential tool for realizing advanced materials and applications. The quantum …

When a magnetic impurity exists in a metal, conduction electrons form a spin cloud that
screens the impurity spin. This basic phenomenon is called the Kondo effect,. Unlike electric …

Harnessing the spin of single atoms is at the heart of quantum information nanotechnology
based on magnetic concepts. By attaching single Co atoms to monatomic Cu chains, we …

This article overviews the development of heavy-fermion superconductivity, notably in such
rare-earth-based intermetallic compounds which behave as Kondo-lattice systems. Heavy …

Magnetic impurities embedded in a metal are screened by the Kondo effect, signaled by the
formation of an extended correlation cloud, the so-called Kondo or screening cloud. In a …

One-dimensional metal–organic chains often possess a complex magnetic structure
susceptible to modification by alteration of their chemical composition. The possibility to tune …
