abstract = {Single adatoms offer an exceptional playground for studying
magnetism and its associated dynamics at the atomic scale.
Here we review recent results on single adatoms deposited on
metallic substrates, based on time-dependent density
functional theory. First we analyze quantum zero-point
spin-fluctuations (ZPSF) as calculated from the
fluctuation-dissipation theorem, and show how they affect
the magnetic stability by modifying the magnetic anisotropy
energy. We also assess the impact of ZPSF in the limit of
small hybridization to the substrate characteristic of
semi-insulating substrates, connecting to recent
experimental investigations where magnetic stability of a
single adatom was achieved for the first time. Secondly, we
inspect further the dynamics of single adatoms by
considering the longitudinal and transverse spin-relaxation
processes, whose time-scales are analyzed and related to the
underlying electronic structure of both the adatom and the
substrate. Thirdly, we analyze spin-fluctuation modes of
paramagnetic adatoms, i.e. adatoms where the Stoner
criterion for magnetism is almost fulfilled. Interestingly,
such modes can develop well-defined peaks in the meV range,
their main characteristics being determined by two
fundamental electronic properties, namely the Stoner
parameter and the density of states at the Fermi level.
Furthermore, simulated inelastic scanning tunneling
spectroscopy curves reveal that these spin-fluctuation modes
can be triggered by tunneling electrons, opening up
potential applications also for paramagnetic adatoms.
Lastly, an overview of the outstanding issues and future
directions is given.},
