Spin effects in adsorbed organometallic complexes — •Richard Berndt — Institut für Experimentelle und Angewandte Physik, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel

By adsorbing organometallic complexes onto surfaces, high densities can be achieved and the molecules can be probed individually with a scanning tunneling microscope. This approach has enabled experiments on molecular spin switches and their interactions in artificial arrays. New insights have been gained into spin-crossover molecules, electrostatic interactions and their effect on spin states, and the role of orbital magnetic moments. The talk will highlight some results from this field as well as some of the challenges.

Keywords: Scanning tunneling microscopy; organometallic complex; molecular interactions; spin switching
