Recently, spin excitations in Fe adatoms on Cu(111) and Ag(111) surfaces are probed with magnetic field dependent inelastic scanning tunneling spectroscopy[1]. The calculation of the transverse dynamical magnetic susceptibility allows to analyse the electronic signature of these excitations[2]. We show that an Fe adatom on Ag(111) surface, contrary to other atoms embedded in various lattice configurations, has a surprisingly large g-value of 3 instead of the regular value of 2.
