Unconventional Spin Relaxation Involving Localized Vibrational Modes in Ho Single-Atom Magnets

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Christian Wäckerlin, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Pietro Gambardella, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller

We investigate the spin relaxation of Ho single atom magnets on MgO/Ag(100) as a function of temperature and magnetic field. We find that the spin relaxation is thermally activated at low field, while it remains larger than 1000 s up to 30 K and 8 T. This ...

Magnetic properties of on-surface synthesized single-ion molecular magnets

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Christian Wäckerlin, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Aparajita Singha, Katharina Johanna Diller

We perform on-surface synthesis of single-ion molecular magnets on an Ag(111) surface and characterize their morphology, chemistry, and magnetism. The first molecule we synthesize is TbPc2 to enable comparison with chemically synthesized and subsequently s ...

Understanding the Superior Stability of Single-Molecule Magnets on an Oxide Film

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Christian Wäckerlin, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller

The stability of magnetic information stored in surface adsorbed single-molecule magnets is of critical interest for applications in nanoscale data storage or quantum computing. The present study combines X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, density function ...

Interfacial charge rearrangement and intermolecular interactions: Density-functional theory study of free-base porphine adsorbed on Ag(111) and Cu(111)

Katharina Johanna Diller

We employ dispersion-corrected density-functional theory to study the adsorption of tetrapyrrole 2H-porphine (2H-P) at Cu(111) and Ag(111). Various contributions to adsorbate-substrate and adsorbate-adsorbate interactions are systematically extracted to an ...

In vacuo interfacial tetrapyrrole metallation

Katharina Johanna Diller

The metallation of tetrapyrroles at well-defined surfaces under ultra-high vacuum conditions represents an unconventional synthesis approach to achieve tetrapyrrole-based metal-organic complexes and architectures. Different protocols, pioneered over the la ...

Dynamics of Spatially Confined Bisphenol A Trimers in a Unimolecular Network on Ag(111)

Katharina Johanna Diller

Bisphenol A (BPA) aggregates on Ag(111) shows a polymorphism between two supramolecular motifs leading to formation of distinct networks depending on thermal energy. With rising temperature a dimeric pairing scheme reversibly converts into a trimeric motif ...

Magnetic remanence in single atoms

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Christian Wäckerlin, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Pietro Gambardella, Fabio Donati, Zeljko Sljivancanin, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic

A permanent magnet retains a substantial fraction of its saturation magnetization in the absence of an external magnetic field. Realizing magnetic remanence in a single atom allows for storing and processing information in the smallest unit of matter. We s ...

Polyphenylsilole multilayers - an insight from X-ray electron spectroscopy and density functional theory

Katharina Johanna Diller

We present a combined investigation by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy of condensed multilayers of two polyphenylsiloles, namely hexaphenylsilole (HPS) and tetraphenylsilol ...
