摘要
Electron transport is studied in a system consisting of a scanning tunneling microscopy, a single-molecule magnet, and metal. The electric conduction is found to exhibit a stepwise behavior at very low temperatures and to oscillate as a function of the transverse field along the hard axis due to quantum tunneling of the magnetization in the single-molecule magnet. These features are expected to be observable with existing experimental techniques.
