A system of conduction electrons can mediate an indirect magnetic exchange between magnetic impurites. The nonlocal exchange typically competes with the local Kondo screening of the impurity magnetic moments. In case of magnetic adatoms on…

Magnetic impurities bridging nanocontacts and break junctions of nearly magnetic metals may lead to permanent moments, analogous to the giant moments well known in the bulk case. A numerical renormalization group (NRG) study shows that,…
In this work, we study the effects of a transverse magnetic field in a Kondo lattice model with two $f$ orbitals interacting with the conduction electrons. The $f$ electrons that are present on the same site interact through Hund's…
We propose the second-order response of metals in an electric field induced by magnetic impurities which locally break inversion symmetry. The impurities with toroidal moments scatter conduction electrons in the presence of the spin-orbit…
We consider magnetic impurities coupled to a conduction sea via a fully isotropic ferromagnetic spin-exchange term, the strength of which depends on the conduction-electron modes involved in the scattering. In the single-impurity case we…

Spintronics devices rely on spin-dependent transport behavior evoked by the presence of spin-polarized electrons. Transport through nanostructures, on the other hand, is dominated by strong Coulomb interaction. We study a model system in…
The Kondo effect is a key many-body phenomenon in condensed matter physics. It concerns the interaction between a localised spin and free electrons. Discovered in metals containing small amounts of magnetic impurities, it is now a…
In the two-impurity Anderson model, the inter-impurity spin exchange interaction favors a spin singlet state between two impurities leading to the breakdown of the Kondo effect. We show that a local uniform magnetic field can delocalize the…
