It is well-known that magnetic impurities can change the symmetry class of disordered metallic systems by breaking spin and time-reversal symmetry. At low temperature these symmetries can be restored by Kondo screening. It is also known…

We investigate the Kondo effect in two-dimensional disordered electron systems using a finite-temperature quantum Monte Carlo method. Depending on the position of a magnetic impurity, the local moment is screened or unscreened by the spin…
It is well established that a correlated quantum impurity embedded in a metallic host can form the many-body Kondo state with itinerant electrons due to the effective antiferromagnetic coupling. Such effect is manifested spectroscopically…
The low-energy physics of a spin-1/2 Kondo impurity in a gapless host, where a density of band states $\rho_0(\epsilon)=|\epsilon|^r/(|\epsilon|^r+\beta^r)$ vanishes at the Fermi level $\epsilon=0$, is studied by the Bethe ansatz. The…

A spin-1/2 magnetic impurity coupled to a one-dimensional correlated electron system have been studied by applying the density renormalization group method. The Kondo temperature is substantially enhanced by strong repulsive interactions in…
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…
Using the Bethe ansatz method, we study the ground state properties of a $U\to\infty$ Anderson impurity in a ``gapless'' host, where a density of band states vanishes at the Fermi level $\epsilon_F$ as $|\epsilon-\epsilon_F|$. As in metals,…
We study the role of the onset of Shockley states, $D_s$, belonging to (111) surfaces of Cu, Ag and Au in the Kondo effect when a magnetic impurity is deposited on them. When $D_s$ approaches to the Fermi level, $E_F$, thing that can be…
