Kondomania

Abstract

Originally the Kondo effect describes a scattering mechanism of electrons in metals that have defects with internal quantum mechanical degrees of freedom. The characteristic dynamic interplay between localized and itinerant states occurs in many different forms. It is now clear that the Kondo effect shapes the properties of various classes of quantum materials and is a key to understanding their unusual properties. In the following we outline a selection of the most important developments in this Kondomania.
