Variable Charge State, Magnetic Excitations, and Kondo Effect of Sm/g/Ir(111)

Shixuan Shan, Tamara de Ara, Lina Liu +7

Using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy we investigate the charge state, magnetic excitations, and Kondo features of individual Sm adatoms on graphene/Ir(111). Dependin…

Single Atom Magnets on Thermally Stable Adsorption Sites: Dy on NaCl(100)

M. Pivetta, M. Blanco-Rey, S. Reynaud +14

We report magnetic bistability in single Dy atoms on NaCl(100) thin films. Individual Dy atoms substituting Na at the surface of the NaCl layer are thermally stable up to at least…

A quantum pathway to overcome the trilemma of magnetic data storage

Patrick Robert Forrester, François Patthey, Edgar Fernandes +3

The three essential pillars of magnetic data storage devices are readability, writeability, and stability. However, these requirements compete as magnetic domain sizes reach the fu…

Upgrade of a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope for electron-spin resonance

Fabian D. Natterer, François Patthey, Tobias Bilgeri +3

Electron spin resonance with a scanning tunneling microscope (ESR-STM) combines the high energy resolution of spin resonance spectroscopy with the atomic scale control and spatial…

Spin excitations in a 4f-3d heterodimer on MgO

A. Singha, F. Donati, F. D. Natterer +6

We report on the magnetic properties of HoCo dimers as a model system for the smallest intermetallic transition metal-lanthanide compound. The dimers are adsorbed on ultrathin MgO(…

Thermal and magnetic field stability of holmium single atom magnets

Fabian Donat Natterer, Fabio Donati, François Patthey +1

We use spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy to demonstrate that Ho atoms on magnesium oxide exhibit a coercive field of more than 8 T and magnetic bistability for many minu…

Distinction of Nuclear Spin States with the Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Fabian Donat Natterer, François Patthey, Harald Brune

We demonstrate rotational excitation spectroscopy with the scanning tunneling microscope for physisorbed hydrogen and its isotopes hydrogen-deuterid and deuterium. The observed exc…

Dynamical Coulomb Blockade Observed in Nano-Sized Electrical Contacts

Christophe Brun, Konrad H. Müller, I-Po Hong +3

Electrical contacts between nano-engineered systems are expected to constitute the basic building blocks of future nano-scale electronics. However, the accurate characterization an…

Fluorescence and phosphorescence from individual C molecules excited by local electron tunneling

Elizabeta Ćavar, Marie-Christine Blüm, Marina Pivetta +3

Using the highly localized current of electrons tunneling through a double barrier Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) junction, we excite luminescence from a selected C mol…
