We theoretically investigate the spin-resolved local density of states (SR-LDOS) of a spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of a Kondo adatom and a STM probe. Using Green function formalism and the atomic approach in the limit of infinite Coulomb correlation, it is found an analytical SR-LDOS expression in the low temperature regime of the system. This formal result is given in terms of phase shifts originated by the adatom scattering and Fano interference. The SR-LDOS is investigated as a function of the probe position and different Fano factors. Our findings provide an alternative way to spin-split the Kondo resonance without the use of huge magnetic fields, typically necessary in adatom systems characterized by large Kondo temperatures. We observe a non-Zeeman spin-splitting of the Kondo resonance in the total LDOS, with one spin-component pinned around the host Fermi level. Interestingly, this result is in accordance to recent experimental data reported in Phys. Rev. B 82, 020406(R) (2010).
