Theory of Stm Spectroscopy of Kondo Ions on Metal Surfaces
The conduction electron density of states nearby a single magnetic impurity, as measured recently by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), is calculated. It is shown that the Kondo effect induces a narrow Fano resonance as an intrinsic feature in the conduction electron density of states. The line shape varies with the distance between STM tip and impurity, in qualitative agreement with experime...
متن کاملMolecular architectonic on metal surfaces.
The engineering of highly organized systems from instructed molecular building blocks opens up new vistas for the control of matter and the exploration of nanodevice concepts. Recent investigations demonstrate that well-defined surfaces provide versatile platforms for steering and monitoring the assembly of molecular nanoarchitectures in exquisite detail. This review delineates the principles o...
متن کاملLarge molecules on surfaces: deposition and intramolecular STM manipulation by directional forces.
Intramolecular manipulation of single molecules on a surface with a scanning tunnelling microscope enables the controlled modification of their structure and, consequently, their physical and chemical properties. This review presents examples of intramolecular manipulation experiments with rather large molecules, driven by directional, i.e. chemical or electrostatic, forces between tip and mole...
متن کاملObservation of Quantum-Size Effects at Room Temperature on Metal Surfaces With STM.
Surface steps act as confining barriers for electrons in metal-surface states. Thus, narrow terraces and small single-atom-high metal islands act as low-dimensional, electron-confining structures. In sufficiently small structures, quantum-size effects are observable even at room temperature. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy is used to image the probability amplitude distributions and discrete sp...
متن کاملSwitching a single spin on metal surfaces by a STM Tip: Ab Initio studies.
The exchange coupling between single 3d magnetic adatoms (Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co) adsorbed on a Cu(001) surface and a Cr STM tip is studied with ab initio calculations. We demonstrate that the spin direction of single adatoms can be controlled by varying the tip-substrate distance, and the sign of the exchange energy is determined by the competition of the direct and the indirect interactions betwe...
