We investigate the Kondo effect in two-dimensional disordered electronsystems using a finite-temperature quantum Monte Carlo method. Depending on theposition of a magnetic impurity, the local moment is screened or unscreened bythe spin of the conduction electron. On the basis of the results, we show thatthe distribution of the Kondo temperature becomes wide and the weight at$T_K=0$ becomes large as randomness increases. The average susceptibility showsa weak power-law or logarithmic divergence at low temperature, indicating anon-Fermi-liquid behavior.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, to be published in supplement of J.
