摘要：

We have measured the elastic and inelastic tunneling properties of isolated Gd@C-82 molecules on Ag(001) using cryogenic scanning tunneling spectroscopy. We find that the dominant inelastic channel is spatially well localized to a particular region of the molecule. Ab initio pseudopotential density-functional theory calculations indicate that this channel arises from a vibrational cage mode. We further show that the observed inelastic tunneling localization is explained by strong localization in the molecular electron-phonon coupling to this mode.
