Using the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) to mechanically manipulate
individual atoms and molecules on a surface is now a well established procedure,. Similarly …

SINCE its invention in the early 1980s by Binnig and Rohrer1, 2, the scanning tunnelling
microscope (STM) has provided images of surfaces and adsorbed atoms and molecules …

Since the realization that the tips of scanning probe microscopes can interact with atoms at
surfaces, there has been much interest in the possibility of building or modifying …

In a very short time the scanning tunnelling microscope has become an important tool in
surface science, and physics in general1–3. Its primary use has been to obtain atomic …

The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) can be used to select a particular adsorbed
molecule, probe its electronic structure, dissociate the molecule by using electrons from the …

The tunnelling of a particle through a barrier is one of the most fundamental and ubiquitous
quantum processes. When induced by an intense laser field, electron tunnelling from atoms …

THE scanning tunnelling microscope1 (STM) has been employed in recent years in attempts
to develop atomic-scale electronic devices, both by examining device-like characteristics in …

THE scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) is now an established tool for the study of
ordered metal and semiconductor surfaces on an atomic scale1, 2. Here we demonstrate the …

THE potential of the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) as a tool for the high-resolution
manipulation of surfaces and surface-adsorbed phases has been amply demonstrated1–5 …

Tunneling electrons from a low-temperature (5 kelvin) scanning tunneling microscope were
