abstract = {We demonstrate the possibility of dynamically switching the
spin of a single atom or molecule with the magnetic tip of
an atomic force microscope making use of the acting exchange
forces. We choose single V-, Nb- and Ta-benzene molecules as
model systems and calculate the exchange interaction with an
Fe tip using density functional theory. The exchange energy
displays a Bethe?Slater-type behavior with ferromagnetic
coupling at large tip?sample distance and antiferromagnetic
coupling at closer proximity. The exchange energies reach
maximum values of a few tens of meV, which allows one to
switch single spins by overcoming the energy barrier due to
the magneto-crystalline anisotropy. The spin dynamics of the
system was explored by solving the time-dependent
Schr?dinger equation with additional Landau?Lifshitz-like
spin relaxation. We find that the distance dependence of the
exchange interaction as well as the appearance of quantum
tunneling results in different scenarios for the switching
behavior, e.g. the tip can switch the adatom or lead to a
stable superposition state with zero magnetization.},
