Investigation of Magnetic Adatoms with Scanning Tunneling Techniques

By: Material type: ArticleArticleLanguage: English Publication details: KIT Scientific Publishing 2015Description: 1 electronic resource (II, 99 p. p.)ISBN:
  • KSP/1000049666

Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: In this work, magnetic atoms on surfaces are studied with low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. Motivated by the idea to use single atoms as magnetic bits, the factors that allow or prevent long-term stability of their magnetic moments are investigated. Lifetimes of up to several minutes can be achieved for the magnetic moments of holmium atoms on a Pt(111) surface, resulting from the combined symmetries of the system. Corresponding theoretical calculations are presented and evaluated.
