Single-spin sensing: A molecule-on-tip approach

Abstract: 

Magnetometry plays a pivotal role in meeting the demands of ultra-dense storage technology and overcoming challenges associated with downscaled spin qubits. A promising approach for atomic-scale single-spin sensing involves utilizing a magnetic molecule as a spin sensor [1], although its practical realization remains in its early stages. To address this challenge and highlight the potential of this method, we combined a nickelocene molecule with scanning tunneling microscopy to perform versatile spin-sensitive imaging of magnetic surfaces.
