Abstract
ESR-STM is a technique able to detect noise at the Larmor frequency in
the tunnelling current associated with the spin dynamics of a single
paramagnetic center on the surface. Several questions concerning details
of this phenomenon in different magnetic fields and tunnelling currents,
and for different paramagnetic centers are still debated. In this paper
we describe the construction and the testing of an instrument able to
detect the ESR-STM signal from organic paramagnetic molecules (DPPH and
BDPA) deposed on Au(111) at different magnetic fields. First results on
these molecules are presented.
