The engineered spin structures recently built and measured in scanning tunneling
microscope experiments are calculated using density functional theory. By determining the …

We study a Co-benzene sandwich molecule bridging the tips of a Cu nanocontact as a
realistic model of correlated molecular transport. To this end we employ a recently …

When 3, 4, 9, 10-perylene-tetracarboxylic-dianhydride (PTCDA) and coronene molecules
coadsorb on the Ag (111) surface, one-dimensional PTCDA molecular oligomers with …

Using a numerically exact first-principles many-body approach, we revisit the “prototypical”
Kondo case of a cobalt impurity on copper. Even though this is considered a well …

The present topical review focuses on recent advances concerning an intriguing
phenomenon in condensed matter physics, the scattering of conduction electrons at the …

Wallach's rule elucidates the phenomenon that racemic crystals are denser than their
enantiopure form. The rule applies to most chiral molecular systems with the exception of …

The reversible control of a single spin of an atom or a molecule is of great interest in Kondo
physics and a potential application in spin based electronics. Here we demonstrate that the …

Magnetic and superconducting interactions couple electrons together to form complex states
of matter. We show that, at the atomic scale, both types of interactions can coexist and …

Recent scanning tunnel microscopy experiments on transport through CoPc and TBrPP-Co
molecules adsorbed on metallic surfaces have produced several interesting results:(i) a …

Condensed matter systems containing transition metals, be it single molecules or crystalline
solids, exhibit many complex physical phenomena that warrant the constant interest of the …
