The strong Coulomb correlations effects in the electronic structure of magnetic Co adatom on the Pt(111) surface have been investigated. Using a realistic five d-orbital impurity Anderson model at low temperatures with parameters determined from first-principles calculations we found a striking change of the electronic structure in comparison with the LDA results. The spectral function calculated with full rotationally invariant Coulomb interaction is in good agreement with the quasiparticle region of the STM conductance spectrum. Using the calculated spin-spin correlation functions we have analyzed the formation of the magnetic moments of the Co impurity orbitals.

Polarization dependence of resonant anomalous surface x-ray scattering (RASXS) was studied for interfaces buried in electrolytes or in high-pressure gas. We demonstrate that RASXS exhibits strong polarization dependence when the surface is only sligh tly modified by adsorption of light elements such as carbon monoxide on platinum surfaces. s- and p-polarization RASXS data were simulated with the latest version of ab initio multiple scattering calculations (FEFF8.2). Elementary considerations are additionally presented for the origin of the polarization dependence in RASXS.
We show that the observed repulsive interaction between CO molecules on the Pt(111) surface can be explained by the coupling of the Pt--CO separation with Pt-Pt coordinates in the substrate. The observed long range of the interaction and the non-mono tonic distance dependence are reproduced. The magnitude of the multiphonon decay of the Pt--CO vibration calculated in this model is also in agreement with experiment.
We present an extensive study of structure, composition, electronic and magnetic properties of Ce--Pt surface intermetallic phases on Pt(111) as a function of their thickness. The sequence of structural phases appearing in low energy electron diffrac tion (LEED) may invariably be attributed to a single underlying intermetallic atomic lattice. Findings from both microscopic and spectroscopic methods, respectively, prove compatible with CePt$_5$ formation when their characteristic probing depth is adequately taken into account. The intermetallic film thickness serves as an effective tuning parameter which brings about characteristic variations of the Cerium valence and related properties. Soft x-ray absorption (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) prove well suited to trace the changing Ce valence and to assess relevant aspects of Kondo physics in the CePt$_5$ surface intermetallic. We find characteristic Kondo scales of the order of 10$^2$ K and evidence for considerable magnetic Kondo screening of the local Ce $4f$ moments. CePt$_5$/Pt(111) and related systems therefore appear to be promising candidates for further studies of low-dimensional Kondo lattices at surfaces.
Using a combination of scanning tunneling spectroscopy and atomic lateral manipulation, we obtained a systematic variation of the Kondo temperature ($T_mathrm K$) of Co atoms on Ag(111) as a function of the surface state contribution to the total den sity of states at the atom adsorption site ($rho_s$). By sampling the $T_mathrm K$ of a Co atom on positions where $rho_s$ was spatially resolved beforehand, we obtain a nearly linear relationship between both magnitudes. We interpret the data on the basis of an Anderson model including orbital and spin degrees of freedom (SU(4)) in good agreement with the experimental findings. The fact that the onset of the surface band is near the Fermi level is crucial to lead to the observed linear behavior. In the light of this model, the quantitative analysis of the experimental data evidences that at least a quarter of the coupling of Co impurities with extended states takes place through the hybridization to surface states. This result is of fundamental relevance in the understanding of Kondo screening of magnetic impurities on noble metal surfaces, where bulk and surface electronic states coexist.
