Abstract
Using low-temperature scanning tunnelling spectroscopy we investigate elect ron scattering from isolated Ce adatoms on Ag(111). dI/dV tunnelling spectr a reveal a characteristic antiresonance around the Fermi energy which is no t observed for nonmagnetic Ag adatoms. We interpret this spectrum as a Fano interference between delocalised sp-derived Ag states and the localised f- derived Kondo resonance.
