We calculate the conductance spectra of a Co atom adsorbed on Cu(111), considering the Co $3d$ orbitals within a correlated multiple configurations model interacting through the substrate band with the Co $4s$ orbital, which is treated in a mean-field like approximation. By symmetry, only the $d_{z^2}$ orbital couples with the $s$ orbital through the Cu bands, and the interference between both conduction channels introduces a zero-bias anomaly in the conductance spectra. We find that, while the Kondo resonance is mainly determined by the interaction of the Co $d$ orbitals with the bulk states of the Cu(111) surface, a proper description of the contribution given by the coupling with the localized surface states to the Anderson widths is crucial to describe the interference line shape. We find that the coupling of the Co $4s$ orbital with the Shockley surface states is responsible of two main features observed in the measured conductance spectra, the dip shape around the Fermi energy and the resonance structure at the surface state low band edge.

We revisit the theory of the Kondo effect observed by a scanning-tunneling microscope (STM) for transition-metal atoms (TMAs) on noble-metal surfaces, including $d$ and $s$ orbitals of the TMA, surface and bulk conduction states of the metal, and the
ir hoppingto the tip of the STM. Fitting the experimentally observed STM differential conductance for Co on Cu(111) including both, the Kondo feature near the Fermi energy and the resonance below the surface band, we conclude that the STM senses mainly the Co $s$ orbital and that the Kondo antiresonance is due to interference between states with electrons in the $s$ orbital and a localized $d$ orbital mediated by the conduction states.
Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy are employed to investigate electron tunneling from a C60-terminated tip into a Cu(111) surface. Tunneling between a C60 orbital and the Shockley surface states of copper is shown to prod
uce negative differential conductance (NDC) contrary to conventional expectations. NDC can be tuned through barrier thickness or C60 orientation up to complete extinction. The orientation dependence of NDC is a result of a symmetry matching between the molecular tip and the surface states.
We present a study of graphene/substrate interactions on UHV-grown graphene islands with minimal surface contamination using emph{in situ} low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We compare the physical and electronic structure of the sa
mple surface with atomic spatial resolution on graphene islands versus regions of bare Cu(111) substrate. We find that the Rydberg-like series of image potential states is shifted toward lower energy over the graphene islands relative to Cu(111), indicating a decrease in the local work function, and the resonances have a much smaller linewidth, indicating reduced coupling to the bulk. In addition, we show the dispersion of the occupied Cu(111) Shockley surface state is influenced by the graphene layer, and both the band edge and effective mass are shifted relative to bare Cu(111).
We model electronic properties of the second monolayer Na adatom islands (quantum dots) on the Cu(111) surface covered homogeneously by the first Na monolayer. An axially-symmetric three-dimensional jellium model, taking into account the effects due
to the first Na monolayer and the Cu substrate, has been developed. The electronic structure is solved within the local-density approximation of the density-functional theory using a real-space multigrid method. The model enables the study of systems consisting of thousands of Na-atoms. The results for the local density of states are compared with differential conductance ($dI/dV$) spectra and constant current topographs from Scanning Tunneling Microscopy.
We present a theoretical study of surface states close to 3d transition metal adatoms (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) on a Cu(111) surface in terms of an embedding technique using the fully relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method. For each of the adat
oms we found resonances in the s-like states to be attributed to a localization of the surface states in the presence of an impurity. We studied the change of the s-like densities of states in the vicinity of the surface state band-edge due to scattering effects mediated via the adatoms d-orbitals. The obtained results show that a magnetic impurity causes spin-polarization of the surface states. In particular, the long-range oscillations of the spin-polarized s-like density of states around an Fe adatom are demonstrated.
