The Kondo resonance line shape in scanning tunnelling spectroscopy: instrumental aspects — •Manuel Gruber, Alexander Weismann, and Richard Berndt — Institut für Experimentelle und Angewandte Physik, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany

The differential-conductance spectrum of magnetic adsorbates on surfaces can exhibit a zero-bias feature originating from the many-body Kondo effect. The intrinsic line shape of this Kondo resonance and its temperature dependence contain, in principle, valuable information. In the present study, using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy along with model calculations, we investigate the influence of instrumental broadening on the Kondo line shape of a model molecular Kondo system (all-trans retinoic acid on Au(111)). The modulation voltage used for the lock-in detection, noise on the sample voltage, and the temperature of the microscope tip are considered [1].
