Abstract

Description

Clusters of magnetic atoms lying on a metallic substrate can exhibit Kondo effect due to the exchange interaction with mobile electrons in the metal, which can be observed in STM measurements. The same interaction results in the induced RKKY interaction between the magnetic moments in the cluster. For different geometries of the cluster, it can enhance or suppress Kondo-correlations. We calculate the tunneling density of states for trimer clusters of different geometries and reveal the signatures of competition between the Kondo effect and RKKY interaction that can be seen in STM experiments.
