Magnetism of Fe on Pt(111) Revisited by Inelastic Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy — Tobias Schlenk, Alexander Ako Khajetoorians, •Jens Wiebe, and Roland Wiesendanger — Institute of Applied Physics, Hamburg University, Germany

We revisited the magnetism of single Fe atoms [1] and Fe-H_n complexes adsorbed on the surface of Pt(111) by means of magnetic field dependent inelastic scanning tunneling spectroscopy [2,3]. We found that the magnetic easy axis is either perpendicular to or within the surface plane, depending on an fcc or hcp adsorption site. Adsorption of H atoms changes the strength of the magnetic anisotropy and leads to Kondo screening for one of the two Fe-H₂ complexes. For all investigated cases, the magnetic anisotropy energy is almost an order of magnitude lower than recently reported [1].
