TLDR
In this article, an electrical pulse is applied to the film by the tip of an STM, these clusters get fragmented into smaller clusters and the fragmented clusters so produced were observed to coalesce together to regain the original morphology of the surface.About:

Scratch properties of nickel thin films using atomic force microscopy
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the scratch parameters, including the applied tip force and scratch direction, on the size of the scratched geometry were investigated and the primary factors that measure the scratchability were then assessed.

An STM study of structural transitions during the nucleation and growth of Pd and Cu cluster catalysts on HOPG
Caroline Whelan,C.J. Barnes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a scanning tunneling microscopy investigation of the morphology of model metal cluster catalysts deposited on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite was conducted, showing that the exact morphology observed is a function of when the imaging occurs after growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractal analysis of field induced effects on thin films of nickel.
TL;DR: In this article, the surface topographic data analysis was carried out in terms of fractal dimension (D), which is a single parameter quantification (surface roughness) over many orders of magnitude.

Quantum contact in gold nanostructures by scanning tunneling microscopy.
TL;DR: The nanostructures deposited at room temperature in scanning tunneling microscopy experiments are produced by mechanical contact between tip and sample and the resistance can be as low as 100 εOmega.

Atomic emission from a gold scanning-tunneling-microscope tip.
TL;DR: In this paper, a gold scanning-tunneling microscope tip was used as a solid-state emission source for directly depositing nanometer-size gold structures on Ag(111) surfaces.

Writing nanometer-scale symbols in gold using the scanning tunneling microscope
TL;DR: The conditions required to electroetch nanometer-sized craters in flat gold substrates with a scanning tunneling microscope operating in air are identified in this paper, where the authors show that a good tunneling tip is not destroyed by the writing process.

Self-consistent solution of the Poisson and Schrödinger equations in accumulated semiconductor-insulator interfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the Schrodinger and Poisson equations are self-consistently solved in a finite quantum box which includes the whole metal-insulator-semiconductor structure.
