A magnetic atom or cluster is extremely sensitive to interactions with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), that is used to read and write the magnetic state [1]. On the other hand the symmetry of the substrate allows magnetic adatoms to retain their magnetization for minutes, which is extremely long on an atomic time scale [2]. We systematically study this protection against magnetization fluctuations in the presence of a magnetic field and scattering with electrons from the STM and substrate with a non-equilibrium master equation. A combination of spin and substrate symmetry is proposed that produces a stable magnetic orientation even in the presence of a magnetic field [3]. Additionally characteristic features are presented that allow to deduce the spin and substrate symmetry by measurement.
