Signatures of Transverse Magnetic Anisotropy in Transport through a Large-Spin Molecule in the Kondo Regime

The effect of transverse magnetic anisotropy on spin-dependent transport through a large-spin molecule strongly tunnel-coupled to ferromagnetic electrodes is analyzed theoretically. In particular, we investigate whether it is possible to observe in transport signatures of oscillations of the ground-state doublet splitting due to the application of an external magnetic field along the molecule's hard axis. We show that magnetic field leads to revivals of the Kondo effect, with the Kondo temperature depending on the magnetic configuration of the device.
