I investigate tunneling of electrons from an STM tip to a substrate through a magnetic adatom by means of the Anderson impurity model. I employ an approximation analogous to the cotunneling theory [1] and concentrate on f-electron adatoms with large spin-orbital coupling. I compare the obtained inelastic electron tunneling spectra (IETS) with predictions of the spin model that has been very successful in the case of transition-metal adatoms [2]. When the spin model is applied to f electrons, the adatom spin S is replaced with its angular momentum J [3,4].

Electronics and optoelectronics technologies rely on the control of electric charge at the interfaces between active materials of solid-state devices. This behaviour is dictated by quantum mechanical phenomena unfolding at the nanoscale and depends strongly on the atomic-scale morphology of these systems. Controlling the atomic-scale structure of such interfaces is hence essential for optimizing the electronic and optoelectronic properties of solid-state systems, with potential for developing enhanced nanoelectronics, light-harvesting and light-emitting technologies.

Rubén Pérez (Scanning Probe Microscopy Theory & Nanomechanics Group ; Departamento de Física Teórica de la Materia Condensada and Condensed Matter Physics Center (IFIMAC), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, E-28049 Madrid, Spain , http://www.uam.es/spmth/ )

The talk will start with a brief summary of the research activity of the SPMTH group, in particular, our recent developments to describe tip-sample transport and interactions for the simulation of STM and AFM [1,2], reducible oxides for catalysys and optoelectronics [3], graphene edge states and vacancy-induced magnetism [4], and the challenges involved in the imaging of surfaces and large biomolecules in their native liquid environment [5,6].

Karina Morgenstern (Chair of Physical Chemistry I; Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany)

While photochemistry in the gas phase demands a resonant excitation of the molecules, the presence of a metal surface in surface chemistry opens a different pathway via the creation of hot electrons in the metal and subsequent attachment of these energetic electrons to adsorbed molecules. We use two set-ups that combine a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope operating below 10 K with a frequency doubled femto-second laser and a tunable pico-second laser, respectively, to investigate processes induced by these electrons on a single molecule basis.
