Journal ArticleDOI
The Chemical Structure of a Molecule Resolved by Atomic Force Microscopy
TL;DR: Imaging of molecules with unprecedented atomic resolution is demonstrated by probing the short-range chemical forces with use of noncontact atomic force microscopy, and shows that Pauli repulsion is the source of the atomic resolution, whereas van der Waals and electrostatic forces only add a diffuse attractive background.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel optical approach to atomic force microscopy
Gerhard Meyer,Nabil M. Amer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple optical method for detecting the cantilever deflection in atomic force microscopy is described, and the method is incorporated in an atomic force microscope, and imaging and force measurements, in ultrahigh vacuum, are successfully performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecules on insulating films: scanning-tunneling microscopy imaging of individual molecular orbitals.
TL;DR: Ultrathin insulating NaCl films have been employed to decouple individual pentacene molecules electronically from the metallic substrate, which allows the inherent electronic structure of the free molecule to be preserved and studied by means of low-temperature scanning-tunneling microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inducing all steps of a chemical reaction with the scanning tunneling microscope tip: towards single molecule engineering
TL;DR: The procedures presented here constitute an important step towards the assembly of individual molecules out of simple building blocks in situ on the atomic scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current-Induced Hydrogen Tautomerization and Conductance Switching of Naphthalocyanine Molecules
TL;DR: A coupling of the switching process so that the charge injection in one molecule induced tautomerization in an adjacent molecule is demonstrated.
