Abstract

Detection and manipulation of single molecular spin states are one of the hottest fields in physics, chemistry and information technology. This review mainly focuses on progress recently achieved in this field investigated by STM. Study of magnetic molecules on single-crystal metal surfaces and insulator thin films is summarized. Especially, reversible switching of spin-crossover molecules, magnetic phthalocyanine molecules, surface preparation of single molecule magnets and their transport properties are addressed.
