Magnetism in single atoms is governed by the atomic-scale surrounding, which determines
the ligand field splitting of the d-states and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. We determine …

The magnetic anisotropy energy K is one of the key quantities in the design of novel
magnetic recording media, as it defines the stability of the magnetization direction against …

Nanomagnetism covers a broad range of research in magnetism and magnetic properties of
low-dimensional systems, including both experimental methods in sample fabrication and …

Molecular nanomagnets are exchange-coupled spin clusters which are mostly made of 3d
metal ions, but also 4f and higher elements are employed. The so-called single-molecule …

We report on a comparative study of electronic and magnetic properties of Mn6 single-
molecule magnets (SMMs) grafted on gold surface. Two derivatives with spin-ground states …

important conclusion of both studies is that the interaction of the magnetic molecules with the
surface does not destroy the magnetic behaviour. In particular, in the study by Mannini et al …

The interest in nanosized materials has developed in the 1980s in the frame of the emerging
field of so-called nanoscience. The idea of miniaturization of devices in order to increase …

We present a comprehensive study of Er (trensal) single-ion magnets deposited in ultrahigh
vacuum onto metallic surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that the molecular …

The two-dimensional self-assembly of a terbium (III) double-decker phthalocyanine on
highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) …
