Recent scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) studies of buried magnetic impurities in copper have shown strong signatures in the local density of states (LDOS) at the surface of the system above the impurities. We identify these signatures as long range fingerprints of the Kondo effect and choose the Single Impurity Anderson Model (SIAM) to model the system. Using an equation of motion (EOM) technique for the evaluation of the Green's function (GF) at the surface, we need to calculate the GF on the impurity with hybridization functions that depend on the free GF of the copper crystal at the impurity position. A linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) approach is used for the free GF of the copper crystal and for the evaluation of the GF of the impurity we apply the Numerical Renormalization Group (NRG). The resulting LDOS at the surface shows a qualitatively very good agreement with the experimental data.
