Kondo Effect and Conductance of Nanocontacts with Magnetic Impurities
Kondo Effect and Conductance of Nanocontacts with Magnetic Impurities
We study the impact of dynamical correlations on the electronic structure and coherent transport properties of Cu nanocontacts hosting a single magnetic impurity (Ni,Co,Fe) in the contact region. The strong dynamical correlations of the impurity 3d-electrons are fully taken into account by combining density functional calculations with a dynamical treatment …
