dc.descriptionWe propose a mechanism to use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for direct measurements of the two-electron singlet-triplet exchange splitting $J$ in diatomic molecular systems, unsing the coupling between the molecule and the substrate electrons. The different pathways for electrons lead to interference effects and generate kinks in the differential conductance at the energies for the singlet and triplet states. These features are related to Fano resonance due to the branched electron wave functions. The ratio between the tunneling amplitudes through the two atoms can be modulated by spatial movements of the tip along the surface.
