Abstract

The surrounding environment’s influence on the Kondo states formed around an adsorbed transition metal atom are challenging potential applications. Here, the authors demonstrate, via STM and DFT+HEOM calculations, that a metal phthalocyanine molecule on an Au(111) surface enables a fine tuning of the Kondo characteristics.
