13. Measurements were made in a cryogenic ultrahigh-vacuum STM instrument of our own design. We deposited Co and Cu atoms onto a Cu(111) surface, which was initially cleaned by ion sputtering and annealing. Co and Cu atoms can be chemically distinguished on the Cu(111) surface on the basis of STM spectroscopy measurements of the Co Kondo resonance. STM measurements were made by using Ir probe tips and a substrate temperature of 4.3 K.
