STM Single Atom/Molecule Manipulation and Its Application to Nanoscience and Technology

Abstract

Single atom/molecule manipulation with a scanning-tunneling-microscope (STM) tip is an innovative experimental technique of nanoscience. Using STM-tip as an engineering or analytical tool, artificial atomic-scale structures can be fabricated, novel quantum phenomena can be probed, and properties of single atoms and molecules can be studied at an atomic level. In thi sarticle, various STM manipulation procedures are described.
