Abstract

We propose a novel way for detecting the dynamics of a single spin center on a non-magnetic substrate. In the detection scheme, the STM tunnel current is correlated with the spin orientation. As a consequence, the noise in a spin polarized STM tunneling current gives valuable spectroscopic information on the spin dynamics of a single magnetic atom. This is an example of "noise spectroscopy" in which by probing the noise of a small quantum system we may directly monitor its dynamics.
