Large Area Monolayer Graphene Transfer in Ultra-High Vacuum

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Darius Constantin Merk

Graphene transfer methods either employ support layers that have to be removed after transfer, giving rise to impurities, or are based on delamination from bulk crystals, yielding only small flakes with various thicknesses. We present a graphene transfer m ...

Element-specific X-Ray detection of electron paramagnetic resonance in thin films of quantum bits

Harald Brune, Giovanni Boero, Stefano Rusponi

Element-specific magnetism accessible by synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopy has proven to be valuable to study spin and orbital moments of transition metals and lanthanides in technologically relevant thin-film and monolayer samples. The access to cohere ...

Large Orbital Moment of Two Coupled Spin-Half Co Ions in a Complex on Gold

Stefano Rusponi, Chao Li, Boris Sorokin

The magnetic propertiesof transition-metal ions aregenerallydescribed by the atomic spins of the ions and their exchange coupling.The orbital moment, usually largely quenched due the ligand field,is then seen as a perturbation. In such a scheme, S = 1/2 io ...

The Impact of Lattice Distortions on the Magnetic Stability of Single Atoms: Dy and Ho on BaO(100)

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Darius Constantin Merk, Boris Sorokin, Sébastien Reynaud

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, atomic multiplet simulations, and density functional theory calculations are employed to identify criteria for the optimum combination of supporting alkaline earth oxide and adsorption site maximizing the spin lifetimes o ...

Erbium and thulium on MgO(100)/Ag(100) as candidates for single atom qubits

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Edgar Fernandes

Lanthanide atoms on surfaces are an exceptional platform for atomic-scale magnetic information storage. However, their potential as qubits remains unexplored due to the limited number of experimental setups that can coherently drive the spins of single ada ...

Valence Orbitals Driving the Spin Dynamics in a Rare-Earth Single-Atom Magnet

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Dante Philippe Sblendorio, Alberto Curcella

We combine spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy with quantum master equation analysis to investigate the spin dynamics of the single atom magnet Dy on graphene/Ir(111). By performing reading and writing experiments, we show that the strongly spin p ...

Increasing Magnetic Anisotropy in Bimetallic Nanoislands Grown on fcc(111) Metal Surfaces

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Sergio Vlaic, Dimitrios Mousadakos

The magnetic properties and the atomic scale morphology of bimetallic two-dimensional nanoislands, epitaxially grown on fcc(111) metal surfaces, have been studied by means of Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. We investigate the ...

Slow Magnetic Relaxation of Dy Adatoms with In-Plane Magnetic Anisotropy on a Two- Dimensional Electron Gas

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Boris Sorokin, Dante Philippe Sblendorio, Darius Constantin Merk, Sébastien Reynaud

We report on the magnetic properties of Dy atoms adsorbed on the (001) surface of SrTiO3. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism reveals slow relaxation of the Dy magnetization on a time scale of about 800 s at 2.5 K, unusually associated with an easy-plane mag ...

Mapping Orbital-Resolved Magnetism in Single Lanthanide Atoms

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha

Single lanthanide atoms and molecules are promising candidates for atomic data storage and quantum logic due to the long lifetime of their magnetic quantum states. Accessing and controlling these states through electrical transport requires precise knowled ...
