A vibrationally resolved intramolecular photon emission from a single molecule was induced
by tunneling electrons in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The resonant excitation of …

A novel scanning tunneling microscope manipulation scheme for a controlled molecular
transport of weakly adsorbed molecules is demonstrated. Single sexiphenyl molecules …

We provide a theoretical frame for in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) of adsorbate
molecules with low-lying redox levels strongly coupled to the environmental nuclear motion …

Molecular switches occur throughout nature. In one prominent example, light induces the
isomerization of retinal from the compact 11-cis form to the elongated all-trans form, a …

We report the atomic manipulation properties of two distinct, stable, and reproducible states
of a scanning tunneling microscope tip applied to chlorobenzene/Si (111)−(7× 7). We show …

Artificial nanostructures, each composed of a copper (II) phthalocyanine (CuPc) molecule
bonded to two gold atomic chains with a controlled gap, were assembled on a NiAl (110) …

Directed molecular repositioning is a key step toward the build up of molecular machines. To
artificially generate and control the motion of molecules on a surface, excitations by light …

The rapid progress in molecular manipulation with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM)
tip opens up entirely new opportunities in nanoscience and technology. With these …

We have observed reversible light-induced mechanical switching for individual organic
molecules bound to a metal surface. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to …

The effect of tip-induced molecular motion on the appearance of scanning tunneling
microscope (STM) images of anthracene on Ag (110) was investigated for various tunneling …
