Single-molecule measurement techniques have illuminated unprecedented details of
chemical behavior, including observations of the motion of a single molecule on a surface …

Manipulation of individual atoms and molecules by scanning probe microscopy offers the
ability of controlled assembly at the single-atom scale. However, the driving forces behind …

Conspectus Although atomic force microscopy (AFM) was rapidly adopted as a routine
surface imaging apparatus after its introduction in 1986, it has not been widely used in …

Anthraquinone molecules self-assemble on a Cu (111) surface into a large two-dimensional
honeycomb network () R 23° with pore diameters of≈ 50 Å. The spontaneous formation of …

CO vibrational spectra over catalytic nanoparticles under high coverages/pressures are
discussed from a DFT perspective. Hybrid B3LYP and PBE DFT calculations of CO …

We study the physics of atomic manipulation of CO on a Cu (111) surface by combined
scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy at liquid helium temperatures …

Nanoscale confinement of adsorbed CO molecules in an anthraquinone network on Cu
(111) with a pore size of≈ 4 nm arranges the CO molecules in a shell structure that …

Anthraquinone self-assembles on Cu (111) into a giant honeycomb network with exactly
three molecules on each side. Here we propose that the exceptional degree of order …

We investigate two fundamental steps of a nonadiabatic surface process, the photo-induced
movement and approach of CO molecules on the Cu (111) surface, at a hitherto unachieved …

Using non-contact atomic force microscopy with metallic tips enabled us to detect the
electrostatic dipole moment of single carbon monoxide (CO) molecules adsorbed on three …
