Possible Manipulation of Kondo Effect by Transition between Antiferromagnetic and Ferromagnetic s-d Coupling

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Kondo effect originates from antiferromagnetic (AFM) s-d coupling between magnetic impurity and the conduction electron, while it will be totally quenched in ferromagnetic (FM) regime due to malfunction of spin-flip. We investigate the possibility of switching on/off Kondo effect by transition of AFM/FM s-d coupling using 3d-metal phthalocyanine molecule (MPc) on Au(111) as a model system. A Hamiltonian model is constructed based on the feature of MPc molecule to show the condition for AFM/FM s-d coupling. The AFM s-d coupling could transform to FM s-d coupling if the spin state of the lowest unoccupied orbital changes.
