We present a theoretical model of manipulation of the C 60 molecule on the Si (001) surface
with a non-contact atomic force microscope (NC-AFM). The model relies on the lowering of …

A theoretical non-contact atomic force microscope (nc-AFM) image is simulated for an
individual C60 molecule adsorbed on the clean Si (001) surface. The ability to identify the …

Non-contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) was used to study thin films of C 60 on Au
(111). After observing the Au (111) reconstruction, 2–3 monolayers of C 60 were deposited …

We present the results of our theoretical studies on the repulsive (pushing) manipulation of a
C 60 molecule on the Si (001) surface with several scanning tunnelling microscopy tips. We …

The attractive-regime (pulling) constant-height manipulation of a C 60 molecule on the Si
(001) surface is modeled using density-functional theory with a scanning tunneling …

The ability of scanning tunneling microscopy to manipulate selected C 60 molecules within
close packed C 60 arrays on a (Au, In)/Si (111) surface has been examined for mild …

After the discovery of C60, a large family of fullerene molecules was also identified. Among
them, elongated fullerenes are formed by the tubular assembly of carbon atoms. The van der …

Recent advances in non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) have led to the
possibility of achieving unprecedented resolution within molecular structures, accomplished …

Non-contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) was applied to study C 60 molecules on
rutile TiO 2 (110). Depending on the tip–sample distance, distinctly different molecular …

We demonstrate and discuss the use of a scanning tunneling microscope operated at room
temperature to push individual C60 molecules out from their stable adsorption sites at Cu …
