Kondo effect in single atom contacts: the importance of the atomic geometry
Lucia Vitali, Robin Ohmann, Sebastian Stepanow +6
Co single atom junctions on copper surfaces are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and ab-initio calculations. The Kondo temperature of single cobalt atoms on the Cu(111) sur…
Effect of quantum confinement of surface electrons on an atomic motion on nanoislands
A. S. Smirnov, N. N. Negulyaev, L. Niebergall +3
Ab initio calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the quantum confinement of surface electrons to nanoislands can significantly affect the growth process…
Tailoring exchange interactions in engineered nanostructures: Ab initio study
O. O. Brovko, P. A. Ignatiev, V. S. Stepanyuk +1
We present a novel approach to spin manipulation in atomic-scale nanostructures. Our ab initio calculations clearly demonstrate that it is possible to tune magnetic properties of s…
