The Kondo effect caused by the adsorption of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) on Au (111) was
investigated by the combination of density functional theory and a numerical renormalization …

The Kondo effect is a cornerstone in the study of strongly correlated fermions. The coherent
exchange coupling of conduction electrons to local magnetic moments gives rise to a Kondo …

Molecular electronic devices currently serve as a platform for studying a variety of physical
phenomena only accessible at the nanometer scale. One such phenomenon is the highly …

Quantum impurity models, which describe how a local degree of freedom interacts with a
continuum, are central to condensed-matter physics. Such models may be naturally …

Energy band for single wall carbon nanotubes with spin–orbit interaction is calculated using
non-orthogonal tight-binding method. A Bloch function with spin degree of freedom is …

Quantum impurity models (QIMs) are ubiquitous throughout physics. As simplified toy
models they provide crucial insights for understanding more complicated strongly correlated …
