Indirect Spin-Readout of Rare-Earth-Based Single-Molecule Magnet with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy.

Rare-earth based single-molecule magnets are promising candidates for magnetic information storage including qubits as their large magnetic moments are carried by localized 4f electrons. This shielding from the environment in turn hampers a direct electronic access to the magnetic moment. Here, we present the indirect readout of the Dy moment in Bis(phthalocyaninato)dysprosium (DyPc_{2}) molecules on Au(111) using milli-Kelvin scanning tunneling microscopy.

Towards Laterally Resolved Ferromagnetic Resonance with Spin-Polarized Scanning Tunneling Microscopy.

We used a homodyne detection to investigate the gyration of magnetic vortex cores in Fe islands on W(110) with spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy at liquid helium temperatures. The technique aims at local detection of the spin precession as a function of frequency using a radio-frequency (rf) modulation of the tunneling bias voltage. The gyration was excited by the resulting spin-polarized rf current in the tunneling junction.

A compact ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope with dilution refrigeration.

We have designed and built a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) setup for operation at millikelvin temperatures in an ultrahigh vacuum. A compact cryostat with an integrated dilution refrigerator has been built that allows measurements at a base temperature of 25 mK in the magnetic field up to 7.5 T with low mechanical and electronic noise.

Spin waves in disordered materials.

We present an efficient methodology to study spin waves in disordered materials. The approach is based on a Heisenberg model and enables calculations of magnon properties in spin systems with disorder of an arbitrary kind and concentration of impurities. Disorder effects are taken into account within two complementary approaches.
