We investigate how the Kondo screening cloud builds up as a function of space and time. Starting from an impurity spin decoupled from the conduction band, the Kondo coupling is switched on at time t=0. We work at the Toulouse point where…
We address the fundamental question how the spatial Kondo correlations are building up in time assuming an initially decoupled impurity spin $\vec{S}_{\rm imp}$. We investigate the time-dependent spin-correlation function $\chi(\vec{r},t) =…
Recent experiments by Potok et al. have demonstrated a remarkable tunability between a single-channel Fermi liquid fixed point and a two-channel non-Fermi liquid fixed point. Motivated by this we study the nonequilibrium dynamics due to a…
We calculate the dynamical spin response of Kondo impurity and Kondo lattice systems within a semiphenomenological Fermi liquid description, at low temperatures $T<T_K$, the Kondo temperature, and low magnetic fields $B \ll k_B T_K/g\mu_B$.…
The screening of an impurity spin in the Kondo model occurs over a characteristic length scale $\xi_K$, that defines the size of the Kondo screening cloud or ``mist". The presence of such a length sc A consistent way to show the presence of…
We consider the spatial spin correlations around a partially screened spin-1 magnetic moment in a metal exhibiting the underscreened Kondo effect. We find that the underscreening of the impurity spin results in spatial spin correlations…
We present a detailed analysis of the evolution of impurity screening cloud in the Resonant Level Model (RLM) followed by quenches of system parameters. The considered quenches are either local or found to be effectively local. The…
The Kondo effect, an eminent manifestation of many-body physics in condensed matter, is traditionally explained as exchange scattering of conduction electrons on a spinful impurity in a metal. The resulting screening of the impurity's local…
The existence of a length-scale $\xi_K\sim 1/T_K$ (with $T_K$ the Kondo temperature) has long been predicted in quantum impurity systems. At low temperatures $T\ll T_K$, the standard interpretation is that a spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}$ impurity is…
We provide strong evidence of a quantum critical point (QCP) associated with the destruction of Kondo screening in the Anderson-Hubbard model for interacting electrons with quenched disorder. A unique crossover energy scale, $\omega^*$…
When a local impurity spin interacts with conduction electrons whose density of states (DOS) has a (pseudo)gap or diverges at the Fermi energy, a local moment (LM) phase can be favored over a Kondo phase. Theoretically studying quantum…

The diluted Kondo lattice model is investigated at strong antiferromagnetic local exchange couplings J, where almost local Kondo clouds drastically restrict the motion of conduction electrons, giving rise to the possibility of quantum…
Whether a small quantum mechanical system is able to equilibrate with its environment once an external local perturbation drives it out of thermal equilibrium is a central question which cuts across many different fields of science. Here we…
Using the Schwinger boson spin representation, we reveal a new aspect to the physics of a partially screened magnetic moment in a metal, as described by the spin $S$ Kondo model. We show that the residual ferromagnetic interaction between a…

We analyze the spatial correlations in the spin density of an electron gas in the vicinity of a Kondo impurity. Our analysis extends to the spin-anisotropic regime, which was not investigated in the literature. We use an original and…
A magnetic moment in a metal or in a quantum dot is, at low temperatures, screened by the conduction electrons through the mechanism of the Kondo effect. This gives rise to spin-spin correlations between the magnetic moment and the…
