Abstract:
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has proven to be an excellent tool to access and manipulate the nanoworld. Nevertheless, up to now it did not allow for coherent manipulation of spin systems as it is common in other architectures. In this talk I will introduce how we establish a new framework for magnetic sensing and quantum coherent control of single atoms by combining electron spin resonance and STM [1]. For instance, this technique can be used to sense the magnetic coupling between atomic spin centers on the surface [2] and on the STM tip [3]. It also allows us to detect the hyperfine interaction between the electron and nuclear spin of different atomic species [4]. I will point out how we can extend this technique to a universal atomic-scale sensor to study magnetism in molecules and condensed matter systems and how to improve the coherent properties of these atomic spin systems. In addition, STM can be used to map the electron transport in a sample with ultimate spatial resolution [5]. In this way, it can reveal the voltage drop, or change in the electrochemical potential at localized defects such as grain boundaries. Here, I will discuss how to enhance this technique to access quantum transport phenomena on the atomic scale and probe the influence of single adatoms and defect centers.
