🔬 New in ACS Nano: Triangulene on TbAu₂ shows a strong, spatially modulated interaction with ferromagnetic magnetization (~20 mV Kondo splitting).
➡️ TbAu₂ = new platform for π-magnetic nanographenes.

"Quantum Lego": We engineered spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains by linking Olympicene nanographenes, unveiling their length-dependent spin excitations. With STM/IETS, we confirm gapless behavior in the thermodynamic limit & visualize spinon standing waves.

In STM with a CO tip, molecular orbital densities look totally different at different tip heigths. Here is why and how to account for it. Teaser: It's NOT due to different decay constants of s- and p- wavefunctions, as one might have guessed (!) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
