abstract = {Electrons mediate many of the interactions between atoms in
a solid. Their propagation in a material determines its
thermal, electrical, optical, magnetic and transport
properties. Therefore, the constant energy contours
characterizing the electrons, in particular the Fermi
surface, have a prime impact on the behaviour of materials.
If anisotropic, the contours induce strong directional
dependence at the nanoscale in the Friedel oscillations
surrounding impurities. Here we report on giant anisotropic
charge density oscillations focused along specific
directions with strong spin-filtering after scattering at an
oxygen impurity embedded in the surface of a ferromagnetic
thin film of Fe grown on W(001). Utilizing density
functional theory, we demonstrate that by changing the
thickness of the Fe films, we control quantum well states
confined to two dimensions that manifest as multiple flat
energy contours, impinging and tuning the strength of the
induced charge oscillations which allow to detect the oxygen
impurity at large distances (≈50 nm).},
