Spin friction observed on the atomic scale — •Boris Wolter1, Yasuo Yoshida1, Kirsten von Bergmann1, André Kubetzka1, Saw-Wai Hla2, and Roland Wiesendanger11Institut für Angewandte Physik, Universität Hamburg — 2Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of frictional phenomena occurring when a single magnetic atom is moved over a magnetic surface with the help of a spin-polarized scanning tunnelling microscope tip [1]. By monitoring the spin-resolved atom manipulation traces and comparing them with the results of Monte-Carlo simulations, we are able to reveal the characteristic friction force variations resulting from the occurrence of 'spin friction'.
