A long standing problem in condensed matter physics is the interaction of a single magnetic impurity with a free electron gas resulting in interesting phenomena like the Kondo effect. In recent years substantial progress was obtained by studying atomic scale systems. Here we want to 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 can show that the size dependence of the local spin magnetic moment of CrAun+ can well be described within in the Anderson impurity model, whereas 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.
