Oxygen vacancy-driven orbital multichannel Kondo effect in Dirac nodal line metals IrO2 and RuO2

Strong electron correlations may give rise to an unconventional metallic state accompanying non-magnetic Kondo scattering. Here, the authors report signatures of orbital one- and two-channel Kondo physics in Dirac nodal line metals RuO2 and IrO2 nanowires.
