The interaction of a single magnetic impurity with a free electron gas is a long standing problem in condensed matter physics. It results in interesting phenomena like the Kondo effect or Friedel oscillations. In recent years substantial progress was made by studying these phenomena in atomic scale systems. Here we follow this approach and investigate the interaction of a single magnetic impurity with a finite free electron gas. CrAun+ clusters serve as a model system. We show that the size dependence of the local spin magnetic moment of CrAun+ can well be described within in the Anderson impurity model, where the interaction of the localized impurity states with the electron bath of the gold matrix is governed by quantum confinement in the host, which is abscent in the corresponding bulk material.
