Individual nuclear spin states can have very long lifetimes and could be useful as qubits. Promising steps in this direction were realized on MgO/Ag(001) via STM detection of the hyperfine interaction (HFI) of Fe and Ti adatoms [1] and the electrical control of the nuclear polarization of Cu adatoms [2]. Here, we report on systematic first-principles calculations of the HFI for 3d adatoms (Sc–Cu) atop ultra-thin insulators (MgO, NaF, NaCl, h–BN and Cu2N) [3]. We analyze the trends and the dependence of the computed HFI on the filling of the magnetic s and d-orbitals of the adatoms and on bonding type and strength with the substrate. Finally, we identify promising candidates for future experimental investigations with scanning probe techniques.
