Abstract

A methodology of atomically resolved Land\'{e} g factor mapping of a single molecule is reported. Mn(II)-phthalocyanine (MnPc) molecules on Au(111) surface can be dehydrogenated via atomic manipulation with manifestation of tailored extended Kondo effect, which can allow atomically resolved imaging of the Land\'{e} g factor inside a molecule for the first time. By employing dehydrogenated MnPc molecules with removal of six H atoms (-6H-MnPc) as an example, Land\'{e} g factor of atomic constituents of the molecule can be obtained, therefore offering a unique g factor mapping of single molecule. Our results open up a new avenue to access local spin texture of a single molecule.
