Paramagnetic molecules on metal surfaces: prototypes for spin-hybrid systems — •Heiko Wende — Faculty of Physics and CeNIDE, University of Duisburg-Essen, 47048 Duisburg, Germany
The fundamental understanding of the interaction of paramagnetic molecules with metal surfaces is crucial for the possible application of these spin-hybrid systems in molecular spintronics. We study the magnetic properties of Fe-porphyrin and Fe-phthalocyanine molecules with sub-monolayer coverages on Ni and Co films on Cu(100) with and without an intermediate layer of atomic oxygen. Dichroism in X-ray absorption spectra (XNLD and XMCD) at the respective absorption edges (Fe, Co and Ni L2,3-edges, N and C K-edges) is investigated to identify the coupling of the molecules to the ferromagnetic layers, the orientation on the surfaces and the electronic structure. To determine the magnetic anisotropy of Fe- and Co-porphyrin molecules, the molecules were adsorbed on a non-magnetic substrate (Cu(100)). Therefore, angular-dependent XAS and XMCD spectra were measured at 5T and 8K. Calculated XAS spectra obtained from DFT and multiplet calculations using ligand field theory enable a solid interpretation of the experimental data. This work is done in collaboration with C.
