Spin Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectroscopy on Local Spin Adsorbed on Surface
arXiv:0904.3917 · doi:10.1021/nl901066a
Abstract
The recent experimental conductance measurements taken on magnetic impurities on metallic surfaces, using scanning tunneling microscopy technique and suggesting occurrence of inelastic scattering processes, are theoretically addressed. We argue that the observed conductance signatures are caused by transitions between the spin states which have opened due to e.g. exchange coupling between the local spins and the tunneling electrons, and are directly interpretable in terms of inelastic transitions energies. Feasible measurements using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy that would enable new information about the excitation spectrum of the local spins are discussed.
