Exchange Interaction between Single Magnetic Adatoms
Open accessAbstract
The magnetic coupling between single Co atoms adsorbed on a copper surface is determined by probing the Kondo resonance using low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The Kondo resonance, which is due to magnetic correlation effects between the spin of a magnetic adatom and the conduction electrons of the substrate, is modified in a characteristic way by the coupling of the neighboring adatom spins. Increasing the interatomic distance of a Cobalt dimer from 2.56 to 8.1 A we follow the oscillatory transition from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic coupling. Adding a third atom to the antiferromagnetically coupled dimer results in the formation of a collective correlated state.

In a normal three-dimensional material, electrons interacting with surface-deposited magnetic impurities can scatter away from the surface over a 2π solid angle, so two-dimensional magnetic interactions typically decay over several ångstroms.
“In a normal three-dimensional material, electrons that interact with surface-deposited magnetic impurities are free to scatter away from the surface over a 2π solid angle, and the two-dimensional magnetic interactions therefore typically decay over several ångstroms (see, for example, ref. 27).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
