Understanding the Interlayer Coupling in 1T/1H-NbSe Hetero-Bilayers

Roman Pico, Paula Abufager, Ignacio Hamad +2

The properties of 2D materials are strongly influenced by their substrate, leading to a variety of "proximity effects" like screening, charge transfer, and hybridization. Surprisin…

Spin dependent transmission of Nickelocene-Cu contacts probed with shot noise

Michael Mohr, Manuel Gruber, Alexander Weismann +4

The current through nickelocene molecules and its noise are measured with a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope on a Cu(100) substrate. Density functional theory calc…

Vibron-assisted spin excitation in a magnetically anisotropic nickelocene complex

N. Bachellier, B. Verlhac, L. Garnier +9

The ability to electrically-drive spin excitations in molecules with magnetic anisotropy is key for high-density storage and quantum-information technology. Electrons, however, als…

Atomic-scale spin sensing with a single-molecule at the apex of a scanning tunneling microscope

B. Verlhac, N. Bachellier, L. Garnier +7

Recent advances in scanning probe techniques rely on the chemical functionalization of the probe-tip termination by a single molecule. The success of this approach opens the tantal…

On-Surface Synthesis of Heptacene on Ag(001) from Brominated and Non-Brominated Tetrahydroheptacene Precursors

Luciano Colazzo, Mohammed S. G. Mohammed, Ruth Dorel +6

Achieving the Ag(001)-supported synthesis of heptacene from two related reactants reveals the effect of the presence of Br atoms on the reaction process. The properties of reactant…

Transport properties of Co in Cu(100) from first principles

C. García Fernández, P. Abufager, N. Lorente

The electronic transport properties of a point-contact system formed by a single Co atom adsorbed on Cu (100) and contacted by a copper tip is evaluated in the presence of intra-at…

Spin-flip scattering selection in a controlled molecular junction

M. Ormaza, P. Abufager, B. Verlhac +4

A simple double-decker molecule with magnetic anisotropy, nickelocene, is attached to the metallic tip of a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. In the presence of a Cu(1…

Single-molecule enhanced spin-flip detection

M. Ormaza, N. Bachellier, M. N. Faraggi +9

We studied the spin-flip excitations of a double-decker nickelocene molecule (Nc) adsorbed on Cu(100) by means of inelastic tunneling spectroscopy (IETS), X-ray magnetic circular d…

From tunneling to contact in a magnetic atom: the non-equilibrium Kondo effect

Deung-Jang Choi, Paula Abufager, Laurent Limot +1

A low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope was employed to study the differential conductance in an atomic junction formed by an adsorbed Co atom on a Cu(100) surface and a co…

FeCoCp3 Molecular Magnets as Spin Filters

P. N. Abufager, R. Robles, N. Lorente

Metallorganic molecules have been proposed as excellent spin filters in molecular spintronics because of the large spin-polarization of their electronic structure. However, most of…
