The observation of quantum criticality in diverse classes of strongly correlated electron systems has been instrumental in establishing ordering principles, discovering new phases, and identifying the relevant degrees of freedom and…
As an exemplary Kondo insulator, SmB6 has been studied for several decades; however, direct evidence for the development of the Kondo coherent state and the evolution of the electronic structure in the material has not been obtained due to…
Kondo-based semimetals and semiconductors are of extensive current interest as a viable platform for strongly correlated states. It is thus important to understand the routes towards such dilute-carrier correlated states. One established…
Quantum criticality in Yb(Rh0.97Co0.03)2Si2 is investigated by means of resistivity and magnetoresistance. The partial substitution of Co leads to a stabilization of the magnetism as expected according to the application of chemical…
The compound V$_5$S$_8$ can also be represented by V$_{1.25}$S$_2$, a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) with excess V. Very few TMDCs show magnetism and/or Kondo effect. Among them, the sister compounds VSe$_2$ and VTe$_2$ are recently…
We present high-field magnetotransport properties of high-quality single-crystalline thin films of heavily underdoped nonsuperconducting (La,Ce)2CuO4, (Pr,Ce)2CuO4, and (Nd,Ce)2CuO4. All three materials show identical behavior. They are…

The tip of a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope is brought into contact with individual Kondo impurities (cobalt atoms) adsorbed on a Cu(100) surface. A smooth transition from the tunneling regime to a point contact with a…
The word Kondo means battle in Swahili. This coincidence is fortuitous because in the Kondo effect, a battle inevitably ensues anytime a magnetic impurity is placed in a non-magnetic metal. Below some energy scale, the Kondo temperature…
