Measuring the Intra-Atomic Exchange Energy in Rare-Earth Adatoms
We present the first experimental determination of the intra-atomic exchange energy between the inner 4f and the outer 6s5d shells in rare-earth elements. Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy on individual rare-earth atoms adsorbed on metal-supported graphene reveals an element-dependent excita...
