Popis: Heavy fermion (HF) states emerge in correlated quantum materials due to the interplay between localized magnetic moments and itinerant electrons, but rarely appear in 3d-electron systems due to high itinerancy of d-electrons. Here, an anomalous enhancement of Kondo screening is observed at the Kondo hole of local Fe vacancies in Fe3GeTe2 which is a recently discovered 3d-HF system featuring of Kondo lattice and two-dimensional itinerant ferromagnetism. An itinerant Kondo-Ising model is established to reproduce the experimental results which provides insight of the competition between Ising ferromagnetism and Kondo screening. This work explains the microscopic origin of the d-electron HF states and inspires study of the enriched quantum many-body phenomena with Kondo holes in Ising ferromagnets.
