Sub-molecular modulation of a 4f driven Kondo resonance by surface-induced asymmetry

In the Kondo effect, a bath of conduction electrons screens a localized magnetic moment. Here, the authors demonstrate Kondo screening of a normally isolated 4f-like moment in a magnetic molecule on a Cu(001) surface that is modulated by strong ligand-mediated coupling.
