Electronic properties of Fen on Pd(111): From single adatoms to islands
Physical Review B 79, (16),pp 165411/1-5 (2009)
The electronic structure of small Fe nanoclusters was investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Unoccupied electronic states of Fe were found for all the examined nanostructures. Ab initio calculations clarify that STS actually probed s-p electrons resonantly scattered at dz2 states of Fe nanostructures.
