Kondo physics of magnetic adatoms on metallic surfaces when the onset of the surface conduction density of states crosses the Fermi level

J. Fernández, P. Roura-Bas

We study the role of the onset of Shockley states, $D_s$, belonging to (111) surfaces of Cu, Ag and Au in the Kondo effect when a magnetic impurity is deposited on them. When $D_s$…
