Experimental investigations of spin-polarized electron confinement in nanostructures by
scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) are …

Written by three leading experts in the field, this book describes and explains all essential
aspects of scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and …

Mixing of discretized states in quantum magnets has a radical impact on their properties.
Managing this effect is key for spintronics in the quantum limit. Magnetic fields can modify …

Shrinking spintronic devices to the nanoscale ultimately requires localized control of
individual atomic magnetic moments. At these length scales, the exchange interaction plays …

Two magnetic atoms, one attached to the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope and one
adsorbed on a metal surface, each constituting a Kondo system, have been proposed as …

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 prospect …

We theoretically show how the spin orientation of a single magnetic adatom can be
controlled by spin polarized electrons in a scanning tunneling microscope configuration. The …

We propose a universal mechanism that makes it possible to drive an individual atomic spin
using a spin-polarized scanning tunnel microscope (STM) with an oscillating electric signal …

Two-level quantum systems are fundamental physical models that continue to attract
growing interest due to their crucial role as a building block of quantum technologies. The …

We review the recently developed three-dimensional (3D) atom-superposition approach for
simulating scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) based on ab initio …
