Switching of spins and entanglement in surface-supported antiferromagnetic chains

Abstract Previous experimental studies discovered universal growth of chains and nanowires of various chemical elements on a corrugated molecular network of Cu3N on the Cu(110). Herein, performing combined ab initio and quantum Hamiltonian studies we demonstrate that such chains can be used for a fa...

description Abstract Previous experimental studies discovered universal growth of chains and nanowires of various chemical elements on a corrugated molecular network of Cu3N on the Cu(110).
