Electron-Induced Formation of C2 on Si(100) from Acetylene and Ethylene

Above: Tunneling-electron-induced molecular displacements of acetylene. All STM images are filled-state, and visualizations below show the position of the acetylene features on the Si lattice. (a,b) A switch from the OD (a) to ID (b) configuration induced by a +3.2 V pulse (average current >10 nA) over the center of the OD feature. (c,d) Long-range … Continue reading "Electron-Induced Formation of…
