Nevertheless, the role of 4f electrons in the tunneling process has not been thoroughly investigated, and the accessibility of these inner electrons, recently addressed in RE molecular magnets<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b28">28</xref>, remains an open issue for the case of RE adatoms on metals<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b23">23</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b25">25</xref>.</p><p>In RE metals the 4f electrons are the main responsible for the magnetic moment of the atom and the external 5d and 6 s electrons make only a discreet contribution to it.

Our SP-STM measurements demonstrate a conduction mechanism for 4f metals involving 5d electrons and prove that these 5d-states have a net spin moment, which couples antiferromagnetically (AFM) to the overall 3d-spin moment of the Fe island, for both types of RE adatoms, independently of the existence or not of a 4f magnetic moment.</p><p>By selecting two lanthanide adatoms very close to one another, such as Tm and Lu, we deal with two adspecies of similar radii (both, the ionic<sup>3+</sup> and the metallic radii, differ in less than 2 pm for the two elements) and with comparable outer electron shells; therefore, we would expect a similar chemisorption process. Nevertheless, the magnetism of these atoms is quite different, since the magnetogenic 4f shell is filled for Lu but not for Tm, which has twelve 4f electrons<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b26">26</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b29">29</xref>. These 4f states are strongly localized and shielded by the 5 s and 5p electrons preventing their interaction with the surface electronic sea which, in contrast with 3d metals, precludes the quenching of the orbital moment. In STM experiments performed on 3d metals, conduction electrons from the tip preferentially tunnel into s-p-d-states of the adatom more extended into the vacuum<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref>. The similar behavior that we have observed for the magnetic and non magnetic lanthanide coupled to Fe allows us to discern the nature of the tunneling electrons, pointing to the 5d as the main actor in the SP tunneling process in RE metals. Our results can shed light on a recent controversy concerning IETS experiments on different RE adatoms (Gd and Ho on Pt (111) and Cu (111)) adsorbed on conducting substrates<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b23">23</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b25">25</xref>. In these experiments, the inelastic scattering processes is attributed to spin flip events of the 4f electrons with long spin lifetimes (up to 700 s at 0.7 K for Ho on Pt(111)) and, hence, with single ion magnetic anisotropy. However, in a recent paper<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b27">27</xref>, XAS and XMCD experiments have shown that the ground state of Ho is incompatible with long spin relaxation times, which contradicts the IETS results. In this regard, the results that we report on this letter indicate a non-contribution of 4f electrons to the spin-polarized tunneling processes in RE single atoms on metals, and therefore would not expect to observe an inelastic process related to the 4f shell, suggesting that the IETS spectra might have a different origin, which supports the conclusions of the above mentioned X-ray experiments.</p><sec disp-level="1"><title>Results and Discussion</title><sec disp-level="2"><title>Spin-Polarized STM experiments</title><p>We studied thulium and lutetium adatoms on iron monolayer (ML) islands growth on a tungsten (110) single crystal by using spin polarized scanning tunneling microscopy.

The Tm adatoms appear as light-orange spots on top of the W(110) substrate and as white ones over the Fe islands. In <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1(b)</xref> the spin-polarized local conductance map of the same area at −200 mV displays clearly two kinds of Fe islands. Since the Fe monolayers grown on W(110) have in-plane magnetization, with easy magnetization axis along [<inline-formula id="d33e215"><inline-graphic id="d33e216" xlink:href="srep13709-m1.jpg"></inline-graphic></inline-formula>10]<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b36">36</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b37">37</xref>, the observed contrast indicates that the dominant tip magnetization component is in plane, either parallel or antiparallel to the magnetic moment of the islands underneath. This is corroborated by the dI/dV spectra shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>(c left) performed on two Fe islands displaying different contrast. It is clear that 200 meV below the Fermi energy [the dI/dV map in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1(b)</xref>], the conductance for both islands is different. More interesting is the behavior of the Tm adatoms, which display a contrast opposite to the one shown by the respective Fe islands beneath, as seen on the dI/dV map of <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1(b)</xref> and further detailed by the spectra of <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>(c, right) performed on two Tm adatoms on islands of opposite contrast. This result suggests that the adatoms bear a net spin moment that is antiferromagnetically coupled to the magnetic moment of the underlying Fe island. However, a possible dependence of the adatom’s spin polarization on the energy and vertical distance to the tip, certainly found in Co and Cr atoms on Fe islands on W(110)<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref>, should be analyzed in our case. To discard an artifact associated with changes in the tunneling current because of the tip height, related with the different spatial decays of the different orbital characters of majority and minority states<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref>, we performed SP-dI/dV maps and spectra in the constant-height operation mode. Two close generic Fe islands with several Tm adatoms on them are displayed in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2(a)</xref>, this dI/dV map was performed after positioning the tip over a Tm adatom on an island at <italic>V</italic><sub><italic>bias</italic></sub> = −200 mV, <italic>I</italic><sub><italic>t</italic></sub> = 800 pA and opening the feedback loop. The profile shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2(b)</xref> clearly reveals that the right island (baseline of the red peak), has a larger dI/dV value than the left island (baseline of the blue peak) and that the Tm adatom on top of the right island has a lower dI/dV signal than the one on top of the left Fe island. This implies that the spin polarization of islands and adatoms are opposite to each other. The same holds true for the range between −900 and +100 mV [see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1(c)</xref>], which can only be rationalized if the magnetization of adatoms and islands are antiparallel in a large energy range around the Fermi level.</p><p>We find the same behavior in all Tm adatoms on islands with opposite spin contrast and with several SP tips. As a more representative dI/dV signal analysis of a particular region, we have performed histograms as those shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2(c)</xref>. The green histogram corresponds to the whole area: the minimal conductance has the maximum number of events, i. e., the W(110) free surface area produces the larger green peak; the Fe island with magnetization antiparallel to the tip moment produces the second higher green peak and, close to it and slightly lower but at a higher value of dI/dV, the third peak comes from the Fe island parallel to the tip magnetization. The two other histograms, blue and red lines, are horizontally shifted for clarity and correspond to the two regions delimited by blue and red rectangles, respectively, in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2(a)</xref>. These regions have no contribution from the substrate, so that the largest peak at the lower value of dI/dV is missing, and allow a clearer comparison of the conductance of each iron island with the adatoms on them. The island with a lower conductance (peak in the blue histogram) reaches the maximum values of conductance for a few events, the areas occupied by the <italic>cusps</italic> of the Tm adatoms. The opposite happens for the other Fe island, it has a higher conductance (peak in the red histogram) but the adatoms on it do not reach such large dI/dV values as their counterparts on the other island.</p></sec><sec disp-level="2"><title>Lu adatoms on Fe-ML/W(110)</title><p>The SP-STM constant current measurements on the samples with Lu adatoms provide similar images to the shown for Tm in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1(b)</xref>. Moreover, an analysis as done for Tm of constant-height spin-resolved conductance maps (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>), indicates that the Lu adatoms, which as free atoms do not possess magnetic moment, display a spin polarization also opposite to that of the Fe ML island on which they are adsorbed. The antiferromagnetic coupling is proved, not only because for a given energy range the measurements are performed at constant-height and we are measuring the tunneling current at the same vacuum region, but also because we observe a simultaneous reversal of the contrast when going to different energies in the dI/dV spectra (compare <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>: −200 mV and −100 mV to +20 mV and, for more details, see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Information</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b35">35</xref>).

In <xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref> we summarize the most relevant data obtained regarding the experiments: the orbital decomposition of the spin magnetic moment at the Fe, Tm and Lu sites, along the [<inline-formula id="d33e299"><inline-graphic id="d33e300" xlink:href="srep13709-m2.jpg"></inline-graphic></inline-formula>10] direction.

The significant result in our case is that the 5d electrons for both, Tm and Lu adatoms, display a net spin moment and that it has the opposite direction to the 3d spin moment of Fe. Moreover, since, in the case of Tm, the obtained 4f spin moment is FM coupled with the 5d spin moment, the total spin moment of this RE is AFM coupled to the Fe ML. For Lu, as expected, the spin moment arises mainly from the 5d electrons and couples AFM with the 3d spin moment of the Fe island. It is the adsorption of the RE adatom on the transition metal which, by hybridization with the 3d bands, allows the 5d orbitals of the RE or to be populated in the case of Tm (as free atom Tm has no 5d electrons), or more occupied for Lu (with one 5d electron as free atom). Since these 5d orbitals are polarized, we get a net 5d spin moment in both cases and, because those orbitals are much more external than the 4f ones, the tunneling current becomes spin-polarized, as seen in the present experiments, being such spin polarization opposite to that of the Fe ML on which the adatom is adsorbed.</p><p>On the other hand, the calculated RE 4f to 5d DOS ratio near the Fermi level is ~8 × 10<sup>−4</sup>, implying that, at the energies involved in the SP-STM measurements, the main contribution to the tunneling current from the RE adatoms comes from the 5d electrons.</p></sec></sec><sec disp-level="1" sec-type="conclusions"><title>Conclusion</title><p>In conclusion, by using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy in combination with first-principles calculations, we report on the magnetic coupling existing between Tm and Lu adatoms and Fe monolayer islands with in-plane magnetization: the RE 5d moments lie in plane and couple antiferromagnetically with their underlying iron islands. This case represents an extreme manifestation of the Campbell mechanism<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b32">32</xref>, till now only tested in higher dimensionality structures and bulk RE-TM alloys.
