Theory of Inelastic Electron Tunneling from a Localized Spin in the Impulsive Approximation
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2009

A simple expression for the conductance steps in inelastic electron tunneling from spin excitations in a single magnetic atom adsorbed on a nonmagnetic metal surface is derived. The inelastic coupling between the tunneling electron and the spin is via the exchange coupling and is treated in an impulsive approximation using the Tersoff-Hamann approximation for the tunneling between the tip and the sample.
