摘要
The charge states of single molecular magnetic chains were manipulated with a scanning tunneling microscope and identified by spin-flip inelastic tunneling spectroscopy. We show that the charged and neutral states have different spin structures and therefore exhibit different features associated with the spin-flip processes in tunneling spectra. The experiment demonstrates a general approach for detecting the charge states at the nanometer scale in a more straightforward manner than using indirect information.
