Figure 2

(a) Experimental dI/dV spectra measured at ligand (grey) and centre (orange) sites of the molecule. (b–f) Decomposition of the total spin-dependent PDOS into contributions from the lower Pc ring (green), the Nd ion (magenta; only 4f-states contribute in the displayed energy range) and the upper Pc ring (blue) calculated for different applied electric fields. Black arrows mark the occupied peak of the upper Pc ring that strongly shifts under the influence of the electric field. In a, the tip is stabilized at Itunnel=1 nA, Vbias=−1 V.
