Abstract:We review analytical and numerical results derived from the Bethe ansatz solution of the n-channel Kondo model of arbitrary spin S as a function of temperature, external field, impurity spin S and the number of channels n. Three situations have to be distinguished: (i) If n = 2S the conduction electrons exactly compensate the impurity spin into a singlet at low temperatures, (ii) if n < 2S the impurity spin is only partially compensated (undercompensated), and (iii) if n > 2S the impurity spin is said to be overcompensated giving rise to critical behaviour. The results are discussed in the context of magnetic impurities, e.g. Fe, Cr and Tm in simple metals, the quadrupolar Kondo effect, an impurity spin embedded in the Takhtajan-Babujian Heisenberg model and electron assisted-tunnelling of an atom in a double-well potential.
