Effects of spin-orbit coupling and many-body correlations in STM transport through copper phthalocyanineBenjamin Siegert, •Andrea Donarini, and Milena Grifoni — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Regensburg, 93040 Regensburg, Germany

The interplay of exchange correlations and spin-orbit interaction (SOI) on the many-body spectrum of a copper phtalocyanine (CuPc) molecule and their signatures in transport are investigated. We first derive a minimal model Hamiltonian in a basis of frontier orbitals which is able to reproduce experimentally observed singlet-triplet splittings; in a second step SOI effects are included perturbatively. Major consequences of the SOI are the splitting of former degenerate levels and a sizable magnetic anisotropy, which can be captured by an effective low-energy spin Hamiltonian. We show that STM-based magnetoconductance measurements can yield clear signatures of both these SOI induced effects.
