Addressing individual paramagnetic molecules through ESN-STM

The build-up of a room temperature electron spin noise scanning tunnelling microscope (ESN-STM) and first results obtained on ultra-thin molecular films of a commercial organic radicals (DPPH) are presented here, together with the preparation, pre-characterization (STM, ToF-SIMS, CW-ESR) and preliminary ESN-STM results of functionalized nitronyl-nitroxide radicals self-assembled on surfaces.
