abstract = {Groundbreaking advances in quantum technologies have
recently been achieved through the use of innovative
scanning tunneling microscopy techniques that demonstrate
nuclear magnetometry of single magnetic adatoms. The weak
hyperfine interaction between the nuclear and electron spins
is atomically resolved, representing a significant step
towards realizing quantum devices based on well-shielded
individual nuclear spins that are impervious to
environmental disturbances. Such nuclear spins could
represent an ideal realization of qubits constructed
atom-by-atom on surfaces. Notably, these experimental works
have so far only yielded successful measurements on the
hyperfine interaction for a selection of few chemical
species adsorbed on twolayer thick MgO deposited on a Ag
surface. This represents a rather unexplored topic of
interest to the broad quantum computational and experimental
community aimed at exploring hyperfine interactions and
nuclear spins to encode quantum information. To broaden the
scope of this emergent topic, we present an extensive
first-principles computational study of the hyperfine
interaction of the complete series of 3d transition-metal
adatoms deposited on diverse thicknesses of insulating thin
films of experimental interest, including MgO, NaF, NaCl,
h–BN, and Cu2N films. The investigation identifies the
atoms and substrates that trigger the most efficient
hyperfine interactions and uncovers the relevant trends.
Physical mechanisms are meticulously analyzed, and a
valuable map of the hyperfine interactions that will guide
corresponding experimental and theoretical communities is
