Spin Mapping on the Atomic Scale: From 2D Antiferromagnets to Single Impurities — •Roland Wiesendanger — University of Hamburg, Institute of Applied Physics, Jungiusstr. 11, 20355 Hamburg

Spin-polarized Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (SP-STM)[1] and Spectroscopy (SP-STS)[2] have allowed the visualization of atomic-scale spin structures [3,4] and the investigation of the spin-dependent local density of states spatially resolved [5]. In a recent SP-STM experiment we could prove that a single monolayer of Fe on a W(001) substrate exhibits a c(2x2) antiferromagnetic ground state with perpendicular anisotropy in contrast to a single Fe monolayer on W(110) which is ferromagnetic with in-plane anisotropy [6]. Spin-dependent scattering at single oxygen impurities on Fe/W(110) was visualized in real-space reflecting the orbital nature of the electronic states involved as well as their spin character [7]. Finally, applications of SP-STM and SP-STS for studying spin states of single magnetic impurities will be discussed. [1]R. Wiesendanger et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 247 (1990). [2]M. Bode, M.
