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 …

In a recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiment [Appl. Phys. Lett. 71 (1997)
213], CO molecules have been distinguished from another adsorbate species on Cu (111) …

We have studied the deposition and imaging of nanoscale molecular wheelbarrows. These
molecules integrate—in analogy to macroscopic barrows—two wheels, legs and handles …

Individual Xe atoms as well as single CO and CH4 molecules adsorbed at the tip apex of a
scanning tunneling microscope (STM) function as microscopic force sensors that change the …

We present results from scanning tunneling microscopy obtained for organic molecules–
coronene and different phthalocyanine derivatives–adsorbed on crystalline metallic …

The interaction of largish molecules with metal surfaces has been studied by combining the
imaging and manipulation capabilities of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). At the …

Molecular wires are key components for future circuits in molecular electronics.[1, 2] Their
utilization in a future electronic device requires the adsorption of the wire on a …

Scanning tunneling microscopy is used to investigate isomerization of amino-nitro-
azobenzene on a thin NaCl layer on Ag (111) by inelastically tunneling electrons. A …

High resolution images of planar aromatic molecules exhibit a characteristic intramolecular
tunneling current distribution in the STM. In this study we have investigated the correlation of …

The orientation of molecules is crucial in many chemical processes. Here, we report how
single dipolar molecules can be oriented with maximum precision using the electric field of a …
