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 …

Abstract. The controlled lateral manipulation of single atoms and molecules on a metal
surface with a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope is presented. The design of …

Apart from its ability to image surfaces with atomic resolution the scanning tunneling
microscope has evolved as a tool to manipulate single atoms and molecules. In this paper …

The controlled manipulation with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) down to the scale
of small molecules and single atoms allows the buildup of molecular and atomic …

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 …

We report recent developments in the manipulation of atoms and molecules adsorbed on
metal surfaces using a scanning tunneling microscope. We demonstrate that individual …

We report on the successful controlled vertical manipulation of single Xe atoms with the
scanning tunneling microscope (STM) at a temperature of 15 K. In transferring Xe atoms …

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 …

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 …

A reliable procedure for controlled vertical transfer of single CO molecules between a Cu
(111) surface and a scanning tunneling microscope tip and vice versa is demonstrated. It is …
