Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy of Magnetic Bulk Impurities - Henning Pruser

Magnetic impurities in a non-magnetic host metal have been actively explored in condensed matter physics in recent last decades. This thesis contains a comprehensive description of the STM /STS technique, sub-surface impurities, as well as single- and two-impurity Kondo physics - and as such offers a valuable introduction to newcomers to the field.
