Absence of a spin-signature from a single Ho adatom as probed by spin-sensitive tunneling

Magnetic stability of holmium atoms on a platinum(111) surface has recently been reported, raising prospects for atomic-scale spintronics, however contradictory results have since emerged. Here, Steinbrecher et al.find evidence for an invisibility of the holmium spin to scanning tunnelling spectrosc...
