Autor: | Li, Jingcheng; Sanz, Sofía; Corso, Martina CSIC ORCID ; Choi, Deung-Jang CSIC ORCID; Peña, Diego; Frederiksen, Thomas; Pascual, José I. | Fecha de publicación: | 14-ene-2019 | Editor: | Springer Nature | Citación: | Nature Communications 10: 200 (2019) | Resumen: | Turning graphene magnetic is a promising challenge to make it an active material for spintronics. Predictions state that graphene structures with specific shapes can spontaneously develop magnetism driven by Coulomb repulsion of π-electrons, but its experimental verification is demanding. Here, we report on the observation and manipulation of individual magnetic moments in graphene open-shell nanostructures on a gold surface. Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, we detect the presence of single electron spins localized around certain zigzag sites of the carbon backbone via the Kondo effect. We find near-by spins coupled into a singlet ground state and quantify their exchange interaction via singlet-triplet inelastic electron excitations. Theoretical simulations picture how electron correlations result in spin-polarized radical states with the experimentally observed spatial distributions. Extra hydrogen atoms bound to radical sites quench their magnetic moment and switch the spin of the nanostructure in half-integer amounts. Our work demonstrates the intrinsic π-paramagnetism of graphene nanostructure | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-08060-6 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/206152 | DOI: | 10.1038/s41467-018-08060-6 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1038/s41467-018-08060-6 e-issn: 2041-1723 |
