Turning graphene magnetic is a promising challenge to make it an active material for
spintronics. Predictions state that graphene structures with specific shapes can …

In recent years inelastic spin-flip spectroscopy using a low-temperature scanning tunneling
microscope has been a very successful tool for studying not only individual spins but also …

We present a systematic investigation of molecule-metal interactions for transition-metal
phthalocyanines (TMPc, with TM= Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) adsorbed on Ag (100). Scanning tunneling …

Quantum criticality is the intriguing possibility offered by the laws of quantum mechanics
when the wave function of a many-particle physical system is forced to evolve continuously …

We report on theoretical and experimental work involving a particular molecular switch, an
[Fe II (L) 2] 2+ complex, that utilizes a spin transition (“crossover”). The hallmark of this …

Advances in molecular electronics depend on the ability to control the charge and spin of
single molecules at the interface with a metal. Here we show that bonding of metal–organic …
