Control of individual spins at the atomic level holds great promise for miniaturized spintronics, quantum sensing, and quantum information processing. Both single atomic and molecular spin centers are prime candidates for these applications…
Artificial nanostructures, fabricated by placing building blocks such as atoms or molecules in well-defined positions, are a powerful platform in which quantum effects can be studied and exploited on the atomic scale. Here, we report a…
A key to building functional devices on the basis of single molecule magnets in the framework of molecular electronics is the ability to deposit and study these molecules on a surface, because the structural, electronic and magnetic…
Transport through molecular magnets is studied in the regime of strong coupling to the leads. We consider a resonant-tunneling model where the electron spin in a quantum dot or molecule is coupled to an additional local, anisotropic spin…
Two conformations of isolated single TBrPP-Co molecules on a Cu(111) surface are switched by applying +2.2 V voltage pulses from a scanning tunneling microscope tip at 4.6 K. The TBrPP-Co has a spin-active cobalt atom caged at its center…
The finite-frequency transport properties of a large-spin molecule attached to ferromagnetic contacts are studied theoretically in the Kondo regime. The focus is on the behavior of the dynamical conductance in the linear response regime,…
We review studies on spin-dependent tunneling phenomena in systems containing ferromagnetic nanoparticles. We discuss preparation methods of assembling nanoparticles as well as the mechanisms and results of spin-dependent transport…
The valence flat bands in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers are shown to exhibit strong intralayer spin-orbit coupling. This is reflected in a simple tight-binding model with spin-dependent complex hoppings based on the…
Spin polarized transport through a quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic electrodes with noncollinear magnetizations is discussed in terms of nonequilibrium Green functions formalism in the finite-U slave boson mean field approximation. The…
We investigate the role of topology and distortions in the quantum dynamics of magnetic molecules, using a cyclic spin system as reference. We consider three variants of antiferromagnetic molecular ring, i.e. Cr$_8$, Cr$_7$Zn and Cr$_7$Ni,…
Coulomb and spin blockade spectroscopy investigations have been performed on an electrostatically defined ``artificial molecule'' connected to spin polarized leads. The molecule is first effectively reduced to a two-level system by placing…
Spin-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy is employed to quantitatively determine the spin-polarization of the magnetic field-split Kondo state. Tunneling conductance spectra of a Kondo-screened magnetic atom are evaluated within a simple…
With recent advances in the areas of nanostructure fabrication and molecular spintronics the idea of using single molecule magnets as building blocks for the next generation electronic devices becomes viable. A particular example represents…
The state of the art ab initio calculations reveal the effect of a scanning tunnelling microscopy tip on magnetic properties and conductance of a benzene-adatom sandwich on Cu(001). We concentrate on a benzene-Co system interacting with a…
The ability to electrically-drive spin excitations in molecules with magnetic anisotropy is key for high-density storage and quantum-information technology. Electrons, however, also tunnel via the vibrational excitations unique to a…
Polynuclear magnetic molecules often present dense transmission spectra with many overlapping conduction spin channels. Single-metal complexes display a sparser density of states, which in the presence of a fixed external magnetic field…
The current status of research on the carrier-mediated ferromagnetism in tetrahedrally coordinated semiconductors is briefly reviewed. The experimental results for III-V semiconductors, where Mn atoms introduce both spins and holes, are…
