Visualizing the spin of individual molecules

Abstract

Low-temperature spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy is employed to study spin transport across single Cobalt-Phathalocyanine molecules adsorbed on well characterized magnetic nanoleads. A spin-polarized electronic resonance is identified over the center of the molecule and exploited to spatially resolve stationary spin states. These states reflect two molecular spin orientations and, as established by density functional calculations, originate from a ferromagnetic molecule-lead superexchange interaction mediated by the organic ligands.
