Recently, the field of molecular magnets has experienced a remarkable result: magnetic
remanence above liquid nitrogen temperatures (> 77 K); this represents the first example of …

The single-atom bit represents the ultimate limit of the classical approach to high-density
magnetic storage media. So far, the smallest individually addressable bistable magnetic bits …

We review the problem of spin decoherence of magnetic atoms deposited on a surface.
Recent breakthroughs in scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) make it possible to probe …

A permanent magnet retains a substantial fraction of its saturation magnetization in the
absence of an external magnetic field. Realizing magnetic remanence in a single atom …

Electrical control and readout of magnetic states is an important goal in spintronics. But
electrical access to quantum spin systems comes at the cost of coupling to electrodes, which …

We report on the magnetic properties of Dy atoms adsorbed on the (001) surface of SrTiO3.
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism reveals slow relaxation of the Dy magnetization on a time …

We present the first experimental determination of the intra-atomic exchange energy
