Single spin localization and manipulation in graphene open-shell nanostructures

π-magnetism in graphene systems has been predicted but remains an experimental challenge. Here the authors report the discovery of unpaired electron spins localized in certain sites of graphene nanoribbons, and the measurement of their coupling by inducing singlet-triplet excitations with a scanning...

Sumario:π-magnetism in graphene systems has been predicted but remains an experimental challenge. Here the authors report the discovery of unpaired electron spins localized in certain sites of graphene nanoribbons, and the measurement of their coupling by inducing singlet-triplet excitations with a scanning tunneling microscope.
