Tunneling electrons from the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope were used to induce
and monitor the reversible rotation of single molecules of molecular oxygen among three …

Tunneling electrons from a low-temperature (5 kelvin) scanning tunneling microscope were
used to control, through resonant electronic excitation, the molecular dynamics of an …

Spatial resolution at the atomic scale has been achieved in the coupling of light to single
molecules adsorbed on a surface. Electron transfer to a single molecule induced by green to …

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 …

The tunneling current from a scanning tunneling microscope was used to image and
dissociate single O 2 molecules on the Pt (111) surface in the temperature range of 40 to …

The tip of a scanning tunneling microscope can be chemically modified by transferring a
single molecule from the surface. Such a molecule-terminated tip yields enhanced …

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 …

Electron transfer plays a crucial part in many chemical reactions,, including photosynthesis,
combustion and corrosion. But even though redox-state transitions change the electronic …

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 …

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 …
