Single Co atoms, which exhibit a Kondo effect on Cu(111), are contacted with Cu and Fe tips in a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. With Fe tips, the Kondo effect persists with the Abrikosov-Suhl resonance significantly broadened. In contrast, for Cu-covered W tips, the resonance width remains almost constant throughout the tunneling and contact ranges. The distinct changes of the line width are interpreted in terms of modifications of the Co d state occupation owing to hybridization with the tip apex atoms.

Linear atomic chains containing a single Kondo atom, Co, and several nonmagnetic atoms, Cu, were assembled atom by atom on Cu(111) with the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope. The resulting one-dimensional wires, Cu$_m$CoCu$_n$ ($0leq m, nleq 5$), exhibit a rich evolution of the single-Co Kondo effect with the variation of $m$ and $n$, as inferred from changes in the line shape of the Abrikosov-Suhl-Kondo resonance. The most striking result is the quenching of the resonance in CuCoCu$_2$ and Cu$_2$CoCu$_2$ clusters. State-of-the-art first-principles calculations were performed to unravel possible microscopic origins of the remarkable experimental observations.
In using the fully relativist
The tip of a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope is brought into contact with individual Kondo impurities (cobalt atoms) adsorbed on a Cu(100) surface. A smooth transition from the tunneling regime to a point contact with a conductance of $Gapproxtext{G}_0$ occurs. Spectroscopy in the contact regime, {it i. e.}, at currents in a $mutext{A}$ range was achieved. A modified line shape is observed indicating a significant change of the Kondo temperature $T_{text{K}}$ at contact. Model calculations indicate that the proximity of the tip shifts the cobalt $d$-band and thus affects $T_{text{K}}$.
The tris pyrazolyl borate ligand imposes a rigid scaffold around Fe( ii ) ensuring a robust magnetic anisotropy when the molecules assembled as monolayers suffer from the dissymmetric environment of the substrate/vacuum interface.
Clusters containing a single magnetic impurity were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy, spectroscopy, and ab initio electronic structure calculations. The Kondo temperature of a Co atom embedded in Cu clusters on Cu(111) exhibits a non-monotonic variation with the cluster size. Calculations model the experimental observations and demonstrate the importance of the local and anisotropic electronic structure for correlation effects in small clusters.
