▎ 摘 要
We present a theoretic study on scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) of a magnetic adatom on graphene. Three typical configurations of adatoms on graphene are considered explicitly: the adatom is on the top of a carbon atom (TC), in a substitutional site (SC), or above the center of the honeycomb hexagon (HC). Based on the nonequilibrium Green's function method, we derive the local density of state (LDOS) for the adatom and the differential conductance through the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) device. Our results show that in comparison with the cases of the TC and SC, there exists an anomalous broadening of the local adatom energy level in the HC, which pushes the adatom energy to first cross the Fermi level, leading to the appearance of an antiresonance in the LDOS due to the interference between the Kondo resonance and the broadened adatom level. Correspondingly, the bias dependence of the differential conductance in the HC exhibits a more asymmetric sharp Kondo peak pinned to the gate voltage, and its height still remains significantly large compared to that for the other two cases. Additionally, with decreasing the gate voltage, the Kondo peak in the differential conductance gradually decays, and eventually vanishes in the absence of the gate voltage.
