Theory of scanning tunnelling spectroscopy of Co adatoms in a magnetic field: A Kondo problem of an extended impurity — •Bimla Danu¹, Fakher F.

The ability to build and manipulate various Kondo nano-structures has been demonstrated in many recent experiments using scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). For example, recent STS experiments on chains of Co adatoms have revealed a series of level crossings as a function of magnetic field. Motivated by these experimental studies, we explore the magnetic field induced Kondo effect that takes place at symmetry protected level crossings in finite Co adatom chains. In particular, we provide a quantitative theory of STS signal based on auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo simulations, and, show that the physics at the vicinity of level crossings is a Kondo problem of an extended Impurity.
