摘要
We investigate the bias dependence of the tunneling conductance between a spin-polarized (SP) scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip and the surface conduction states of a normal metal with a Kondo adatom. Quantum interference between tip-host metal and tip-adatom-host metal conduction paths is studied in the full range of the Fano parameter q. The spin-polarized STM gives rise to a splitting of the Kondo peak and asymmetry in the zero-bias anomaly, depending on the lateral tip-adatom distance. For increasing lateral distances, the Kondo peak splitting shows a strong suppression and the spin-polarized conductance exhibits the standard Fano-Kondo profile.
