The Kondo temperature $T_K$ of single Co adatoms on monolayers of Ag on Cu and Au(111) is determined using Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy. $T_K$ of Co on a single monolayer of Ag on either substrate is essentially the same as that of Co on…
We point out that even at the absolute zero of temperature environmental decoherence limits the destructive interference between time-reversed paths for an electron in a disordered metal, and thus causes the leading (`weak localization')…

Recent observations with TRACE reveal that the time delay between the appearance of a cooling loop in different EUV temperature filters is proportional to the loop length, dt_12 ~ L. We model this cooling delay in terms of radiative loss…
