Abstract: Abstract In this study, Kondo behavior, electronic structure and magnetic properties of CeRuPO-nano-layer are investigated using the first principles calculations. The calculations are performed by employing the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method based on the density functional theory (DFT). These properties are calculated in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. The exchange-correlation interaction is calculated within generalized gradient approximation (GGA). In addition, the GGA+U approach (where U is the Hubbard correlation term) is also employed to improve treatment of the f-electrons. The calculated partial electron density of states demonstrates that the hybridization between Ce-4f and Ru-5d orbitals and consequently Kondo effect changes at the surface of the CeRuPO-nano-layer compared to the bulk. The results show that due to the weaker Kondo effect at the surface of CeRuPO-nano-layer, the magnetic moment of Ce atoms enhances and the effective mass of the conduction electron reduces.
