How localized electrons interact with delocalized electrons is a central question to many problems in sold-state physics 1 , 2 , 3 . The simplest manifestation of this situation is the Kondo effect, which occurs when an impurity atom with an unpaired electron is placed in a metal 2 . At low temperat...
