The magnetic moment of rare earth elements originates from the electrons of the partially filled 4f orbitals. Accessing this moment electrically as in a scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiment is difficult due to the effective shielding by electrons in the further outward lying 5d and 6s orbitals. However, recently the influence of 4f spins on the EPR signal of neighboring 3d spins has been used for its detection [1]. Here we use a different approach to detect the magnetic moment of a single Ce adatom on a Cu2N ultrathin film on Cu(100). We functionalize the tip apex with a second, Kondo screened spin which we can deliberately couple to other moments on the surface via the tunneling junction [2]. We calibrate this sensor against a well understood Fe atom and subsequently use the splitting of the Kondo resonance when approaching a spectroscopically dark Ce atom to determine its magnetic moment to ≈ 1 µB.
