Combining radio frequency (RF) signals in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) attracts attention for electron spin resonance detection of a single molecule. We inject an RF signal in the STM tunneling junction, which contains a radical molecule of TOV at the sample temperature of 400 mK. The dI/dV curve without the RF shows a Kondo resonance with a width of 2 meV originating from S=1/2. At an RF frequency of 10.4 GHz, the Kondo peak at the Fermi level split into two peaks whose energy coincides with the AC electric field of the RF (Vac). We propose a model to modify the Tien-Gordon model for the photon-assisted tunneling (PAT) process by introducing the electron-photon coupling constant. This work suggests a pathway to tuning the electron-photon coupling constant in the RF region.
