Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) within the junction of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) uses current-driven spin excitations for an all electrical characterization of the spin state of a single object. Here we study the magnetism of a sandwich nickelocene molecule (Nc) adsorbed on Cu(100) by means of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and density functional theory calculations (DFT), and show with IETS that it exhibits efficient spin excitations. The molecule preserves its magnetic moment and magnetic anisotropy not only on Cu(100), but also in different metallic environments including the tip apex. Taking advantage of this robusteness, we use a functionalized Nc tip to detect the magnetism of a single Fe adatom.
