Surface-Supported Hydrocarbon π Radicals Show Kondo Behavior
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stable hydrocarbon radicals are utilized as spin standards and prototype metal-free molecular magnets able to withstand ambient conditions. Our study presents experimental results obtained with submolecular resolution by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy from monomers and dimers of stable hydrocarbon π radicals adsorbed on the Au(111) surface at 7-50 K. We provide conclusive evidence of the preservation of the radical spin-1/2 state, aiming to establish α,γ-bisdiphenylene-β-phenylallyl (BDPA) on Au(111) as a novel Kondo system, where the impurity spin is localized in a metal-free π molecular orbital of a neutral radical state in gas phase preserved on a metal support.

Fermi surface of the one-dimensional Kondo-lattice model.
We show a strong indication of the existence of a large Fermi surface in the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model. The characteristic wave vector of the model is found to be k F = (1 + ρ)π/2, ρ being the density of the conduction electrons. This result is at first obtained for a variant of the model that includes an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interaction J H between the local moments. It is th...

The reaction of CH3O2 radicals with acetaldehyde on the solid surface of NH4NO3 has been studied in a flow capillary reactor at low pressure and room temperature. The experiments were performed using EPR spectrometer combined with the kinetic method of radicals freezing. Peroxy radicals revealed an oscillation complex behavior during the process regarding to the phenomenon of radicals multiplic...

The model of Kondo chain with M-fold degenerate band of conduction electrons of spin 1/2 at half filling interacting with localized spins S is studied. It is shown that due to the instanton effects the spin sector reveals itself in optical conductivity. Namely, the density of the charge current at large wave vector k ≈ π is proportional to the density of topological charge of the staggered magn...
متن کاملInteractions and Self-Assembly of Stable Hydrocarbon Radicals on a Metal Support
Stable hydrocarbon radicals are able to withstand ambient conditions. Their combination with a supporting surface is a promising route toward novel functionalities or carbon-based magnetic systems. This will remain elusive until the interplay of radical-radical interactions and interface effects is fundamentally explored. We employ the tip of a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope as a...
متن کاملFriedel Oscillations of Kondo Impurities: a Comparison
Recently Affleck et al. derived the existence of Friedel oscillations in the presence of a Kondo impurity. They supported their analytic derivation by numerical calculations using Wilson’s renormalization approach (NRG). In this paper the size of the Friedel oscillations is calculated with the FAIR method (Friedel Artificially Inserted Resonance) which has been recently developed. The results o...
