The first and most famous example of lateral manipulation was the formation of the letters' IB
M', by Eigler and Schweizer [90Eig1] using Xe atoms on a Ni (110) surface. Such a lateral …

The front-most atom of the SPM tip apex plays a decisive role in SPM imaging and
spectroscopy. For example the transfer of a Xe atom to the tip [91Eig1, 96Yaz1] often …

A particular interesting application of atomic manipulation is the direct modification of the
(metal, semiconductor, insulator) substrate. For example on the vicinal Cu (211) surface the …

During the past 30 years Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) in its various instantiations has
evolved into one of the key techniques in surface science, in particular because of its …

Microscopy techniques are used to produce real space magnified images of a surface
showing what it looks like. In general, microscopy information concerns surface …
