Recently,
the adsorption of single Au atoms on a PTCDA monolayer physisorbed on a Au(111) surface
has been investigated
by means of low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS).
The chemical reaction between the Au atom and PTCDA leads to the formation of a radical
occupied with an unpaired spin. This radical formation can be observed as an additional
zero bias differential conductance peak originating from the Kondo effect.
An LDA calculation has identified the participating states of the Au-PTCDA complex,
and the projected density of states from quasiparticle corrections provide all necessary
first principle input parameter for the numerical renormalization group (NRG) calculation.
This talk focus on the NRG calculations and their results that are in excellent agreement with experiment: the calculated Kondo temperature matches very well the experimentally measured
data.
