Classical and quantum correlation induced bias asymmetries in coupled spin systems — •Markus Ternes — Max-Planck Institute for Solid State Research

In recent years inelastic spin-flip spectroscopy using a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope has been a very successful tool for studying not only individual spins but also complex coupled systems. When these systems interact with the electrons of the supporting electrodes correlated many-particle states can emerge, making them ideal prototypical quantum systems. In this presentation I will show how the controlled coupling of individual spin systems can lead not only to an energy shift of the eigenstates reminiscent of an externally applied field, but also to a bias asymmetry in the differential conductance. Using S=1 and S=1/2 model systems of CoH_x on a h-BN/Rh(111) substrate [1] in conjunction with model Hamiltonians [2] which takes the coupling and correlation to the environment explicitly into account enables to precisely determine and control the emergence of correlations between the two subsystems on tip and sample.
