We elaborate on the recently introduced concept of reentrant Kondo effect in quantum impurities/dots coupled to hybrid metal-semiconductor contacts [G.~Diniz {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 101}, 125115 (2020)]. By noticing the equivalence…

The Jahn-Teller distortion, by its very nature, is often at the heart of the various electronic properties displayed by perovskites and related materials. Despite the Jahn-Teller mode being non- polar in nature, we devise and demonstrate in…
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…
