摘要:

预测表明,石墨烯可以从其$π$ -电子的库仑排斥中自发地产生磁性,但其实验验证一直是一个挑战。在这里,我们报告的观察和操纵的个别磁矩本地化的石墨烯纳米结构上的Au(111)表面。使用扫描隧道光谱,我们检测到的存在下,通过近藤效应的碳骨架的某些锯齿形网站本地化的单电子自旋。两个附近的自旋被发现耦合到一个单重态基态,和他们的交换相互作用的强度通过单重态-三重态非弹性隧道电子激发测量。理论模拟表明,电子关联导致自旋极化自由基态的实验观察到的空间分布。与这些自由基结合的氢原子会淬灭它们的磁矩,这使得我们能够用显微镜的尖端来切换纳米结构的自旋。

英文摘要:

Predictions state that graphene can spontaneously develop magnetism from the Coulomb repulsion of its $π$-electrons, but its experimental verification has been a challenge. Here, we report on the observation and manipulation of individual magnetic moments localized in graphene nanostructures on a Au(111) surface. Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, we detected the presence of single electron spins localized around certain zigzag sites of the carbon backbone via the Kondo effect. Two near-by spins were found coupled into a singlet ground state, and the strength of their exchange interaction was measured via singlet-triplet inelastic tunnel electron excitations. Theoretical simulations demonstrate that electron correlations result in spin-polarized radical states with the experimentally observed spatial distributions. Hydrogen atoms bound to these radical sites quench their magnetic moment, permitting us to switch the spin of the nanostructure using the tip of the microscope.
