Individual Ho atoms adsorbed on MgO/Ag(100) show large magnetic anisotropy and long magnetic lifetime up to 40 K [Science 352, 318 (2016)]. Investigating the distribution of the electron spins among the valence orbitals is crucial to understand the quantum level structure and the origin of magnetic stability in these atoms. Here, we use the orbital sensitivity of x-ray absorption spectroscopy to investigate the valence magnetism of rare earth atoms and clusters on MgO/Ag(100). We find both Gd and Ho atoms in a monovalent state, with one electron transferred to the underneath substrate. Combining our findings with density functional theory, we clarify the controversy on the ground state of Ho single atom magnets [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 027201 (2018)].
