Journal ArticleDOI

Atomic scale desorption through electronic and vibrational excitation mechanisms

TL;DR: The scanning tunneling microscope has been used to desorb hydrogen from hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces and a countable number of desorption sites can be created and the yield and cross section are obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deformation of carbon nanotubes by surface van der Waals forces

TL;DR: In this article, the strength and effect of surface van der Waals forces on the shape of multiwalled and single-walled carbon nanotubes was investigated using atomic-force microscopy, continuum mechanics, and molecular-mechanics simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon nanotubes: nanomechanics, manipulation, and electronic devices

TL;DR: In this article, atomic force microscopy and molecular mechanics simulations are used to investigate the effects of van der Waals interactions on the atomic structure of adsorbed carbon nanotubes, and the conditions under which the structure of a nanotube will adjust to the topography of the substrate are defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociation of individual molecules with electrons from the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope.

TL;DR: The scanning tunneling microscope can be used to select a particular adsorbed molecule, probe its electronic structure, dissociate the molecule by using electrons from the STM tip, and then examine the dissociation products.
