The recent experimental conductance measurements taken on magnetic impurities on metallic surfaces, using scanning tunneling microscopy technique and suggesting occurrence of inelastic scattering processes, are theoretically addressed. We…
We consider inelastic scattering of localized magnetic moments coupled with the electrons on the surface. We argue that spin-inelastic transitions of the magnetic impurities generate oscillations at a momentum $k$, corresponding to the…
We consider a magnetic impurity in a spin liquid state of a magnetic system which is close to the quantum phase transition to the magnetically ordered state. There is similarity between this problem and the Kondo problem. We derive the…
We discuss the universal theory of localized impurities in the paramagnetic state of 2D antiferromagnets where the spin gap is assumed to be significantly smaller than a typical exchange energy. We study the impurity spin susceptibility…
In the theory of dilute magnetic impurities in superconductors, the effect of all impurity spin-components is expressed via a single magnetic scattering rate $\Gamma_\mathrm{m}$. In a more realistic setting, magnetic impurities are…
Quantum states induced by single-atomic impurities are at the frontier of physics and material science. While such states have been reported in high-temperature superconductors and dilute magnetic semiconductors, they are unexplored in…
We investigate the effect of spin-orbit coupling on the behavior of magnetic impurity at the edge of a zigzag graphene ribbon by means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations. A peculiar interplay of Kane-Mele type spin-orbit and impurity-host…
The classical spin-flop is the field-driven first-order reorientation transition in easy-axis antiferromagnets. A comprehensive phenomenological theory of easy-axis antiferromagnets displaying spin-flops is developed. It is shown how the…
Paramagnetic impurities in a quantum spin-liquid can result in Kondo effects with highly unusual properties. We have studied the effect of locally exchange-coupling a paramagnetic impurity with the spin-1/2 honeycomb Kitaev model in its…
Exploring an upper limit of magnetic anisotropy in two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, is at the heart of spintronics research. Herein, an atomic-scale perpendicular magnetic anisotropy up to an…
A spin-flip potential $V$ is introduced in a BCS Hamiltonian in order to study a possible thermodynamic effect that might be caused by the addition of a magnetic impurity in a superconductor. We found that the competition between the…
We describe the spin dynamics of an arbitrary localized impurity in an insulating two dimensional antiferromagnet, across the host transition from a paramagnet with a spin gap to a Neel state. The impurity spin susceptibility has a…
The conductance profiles of magnetic transition metal atoms, such as Fe, Co and Mn, deposited on surfaces and probed by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), provide detailed information on the magnetic excitations of such nano-magnets. In…
Transitions from classical to quantum behaviour in a spin system with two degenerate ground states separated by twin energy barriers which are asymmetric due to an applied magnetic field are investigated. It is shown that these transitions…
Sharp localization transitions of chiral edge states in disordered quantum wires, subject to strong magnetic field, are shown to be driven by crossovers from two- to one-dimensional localization of bulk states. As a result, the two-terminal…
The quantum-classical transitions of the escape rates in a uniaxial spin model relevant to the molecular magnet Mn$_{12}$Ac and a biaxial anisotropic ferromagnetic particle are investigated by applying the periodic instanton method. The…
Processes which flip the spin of an electron tunneling in a junction made up of magnetic electrodes are studied. It is found that: i) Magnetic impurities give a contribution which increases the resistance and lowers the magnetoresistance,…
We examine the effect of a nonmagnetic impurity in a two-dimensional spin liquid in the spin-gap phase, employing a drone-fermion representation of spin-1/2 operators. The properties of the local moment induced in the vicinity of the…
We consider a single impurity with spin $S$ embedded in a three-dimensional antiferromagnetic system which is close to the quantum critical point (QCP), separating magnetically ordered and disordered phases. Approaching the QCP from the…
We discuss models of interacting magnetic impurities coupled to a metallic host. If twice the sum of the impurity spins is larger than the total number of host screening channels, the system shows one or more quantum phase transitions where…
