Abstract:Intentionally terminating scanning probes with a single
atom or
molecule belongs to a rapidly growing field in the quantum chemistry
and physics at surfaces. However, the detailed understanding of the
coupling between the probe and adsorbate is in its infancy. Here,
an atomic force microscopy probe functionalized with a single CO molecule
is approached with picometer control to two conformational isomers
of Ag-phthalocyanine adsorbed on Ag(111). The isomer with the central
Ag atom pointing to CO exhibits a com… Show more
