  "main_findings": "Amplitude-modulated microwave radiation applied to an STM junction induced rectification in the tunneling current due to junction nonlinearity. The rectification current was proportional to the d^2I/dV^2 signal and exhibited spin sensitivity; spin flip and magnetic hysteresis were measured via changes in spin-dependent current through a Cr(001) surface.",
