Considering studies of molecular adsorption we review recent developments in the field of
scanning probe microscopy and in particular in scanning tunnelling microscopy …

The stability and precision of modern scanning-tunneling-microscope (STM) systems allow
positioning of the tip on a subnanometer scale. This advancement has stimulated diverse …

In this review article, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is presented in a chemical
perspective. The typical distance from the nucleus of the apex atom of the tip to the top-layer …

The Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) is a new tool in surface science, which allows
for a variety of very local investigations on a preselected area of the sample. Its essential …

With the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) it became possible to perform controlled
manipulations down to the scale of small molecules and single atoms, leading to the …

A short review of recent experimental and theoretical studies of atomic and molecular
manipulations of individual adsorbates by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is given …

Our present experiences in manipulating single atoms and molecules on solid surfaces by
using the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) are reviewed. The construction and …

The forces between the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and an adsorbed molecule
may be exploited to induce a range of translational and conformational modes of …

A short overview of the history of scanning tunneling microscopy and the principle of local
probe methods is given. A selection of applications illustrates the unique and attractive …

Abstract In conventional, Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) the tip—sample separation
is assumed to be sufficiently large to allow only weak coupling between the electronic states …
