Description
We study a localized spin coupled to an Anderson impurity to model the situation found in higher transition metal or rare earth compounds like e.g.\ LaMnO$_3$ or Gd monopnictides. We find that, even for large quantum numbers of the localized spin, quantum fluctuations play an essential role for the case of ferromagnetic coupling between the spin and the impurity levels. For antiferromagnetic coupling, a description in terms of a classical spin is appropriate.
