Does a localized spin of adsorbed NO survive on Cu(111)?

On the basis of the recent two-photon photoemission experiment, a model of localized spin is examined for the adsorbed NO molecule on Cu(111) surface. A question whether the localized spin survives or not is answered to be yes on the data given by the experiment.
