We revisit the physics of a Kondo impurity coupled to a fermionic host with a diverging power-law density of states near the Fermi level, $\rho(\omega) \sim |\omega|^r$, with exponent $-1<r<0$. Using the analytical understanding of several fixed points, based partially on powerful mappings between models with bath exponents $r$ and $(-r)$, combined with accurate numerical renormalization group calculations, we determine thermodynamic quantities within the stable phases, and also near the… Expand

Inducing Kondo screening of vacancy magnetic moments in graphene with gating and local curvature
The authors identify the spectroscopic signature of Kondo screening in graphene, along with a quantum phase transition between screened and unscreened phases of vacancy magnetic moments, which enables to control the screening of local moments by tuning the gate voltage and the local curvature of the graphene membrane.
