Magnetic molecules on metal surfaces are good playground to investigate and control the magnetic properties of nanostructures. In these systems, the Kondo effect and spin-orbit interaction (SOI) are two major components to determine the magnetism. When the molecule has an integer spin, these components compete each other. If the Kondo effect dominates over the SOI, the Kondo singlet state appears. On the other hand, the zero-field splitting spin state appears in the SOI dominant case. Here we report the control of the transition between these two states in iron phthalocyanine (FePc) on Au(111) by molecular manipulation with scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and elucidate the mechanism by the density functional theory (DFT) and numerical renormalization group (NRG)[1].
