Researchers visualized the electronic interactions of magnetic impurities in metals. In doing so, they discovered that the electron patterns which arise around magnetic foreign atoms as a result of the Kondo effect interact over greater distances than previously thought. The insights from the examination of a simple model system could be beneficial in understanding materials with complex electronic structures. (in German)
