It was recently shown that electron spin resonance (ESR) can be combined with spin-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to quantify the resonant excitations of individual 3d transition metal atoms [1]. The combination of atomic-resolution and ultra-high energy resolution, compared to standard scanning tunneling spectroscopy, has e.g. enabled quantification of the hyperfine coupling of individual atoms at temperatures near 1K [2]. Nevertheless, probing small absolute energy scales down to MHz frequencies requires the implementation of this method at much lower temperature. We will present ESR performed in a home-made dilution refrigerator (T = 30mK) based spin-polarized STM including a vector magnet [3]. The ESR was recorded on individual atoms on a thin insulating film of MgO over a whole frequency range from several hundred MHz to tens of GHz. A vector magnetic field was applied and allowed ESR experiments in different crystallographic directions.
