The numerically exact determinantal continuous time QMC method has been applied to calculate properties of a Kondo impurity coupled to a band of free electrons with an arbitrary density of states (DOS). This approach allows to calculate spin susceptibilities as well as Green functions, accurately taking into account all the peculiarities of the free electron DOS. The method was applied to a Kondo impurity embedded into different environments: ultrasmall grain, Anderson model (lattice with random on-site energy levels) and a 2-dimensional lattice, where the DOS has a van Hove singularity.
