Contacting a single molecular wire by STM manipulation
The Lander molecule (C90H98) consists of a long polyaromatic molecular wire and four lateral di-tert-butyl-phenyl spacer groups, designed to maintain the molecular wire parallel above the substrate. It represents...

Manipulation of atoms and molecules with a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope
Apart from its ability to image surfaces with atomic resolution the scanning tunneling microscope has evolved as a tool to manipulate single atoms and molecules. In this paper we present several examples of at...

Controlled lateral manipulation of single molecules with the scanning tunneling microscope
We report on the first successful lateral manipulation of molecules and controlled formation of nanostructures with the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) at temperatures above 4 K as used by Eigler and colla...

Reconstruction behaviour of fcc(110) transition metal surfaces and their vicinals
The fcc(110) surfaces are well known for their strong tendency to missing-row (MR) type reconstructions either in the clean state (Au, Pt) or driven by adsorbates (Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag). The present knowledge on the...

Investigations of the selective population of hydrogen subsurface sites on Pd(110) using He diffraction and thermal-desorption spectroscopy
Surface-structure models for the 2×1 and 1×2 hydrogen chemisorption phases formed on Pd(110) at 100 K have been derived from He-diffraction data. The respective coverages correspond to 1 and 1.5 monolayers (ML...

Raman scattering investigation and symmetry analysis of ferroelectric/ferroelastic Sb5O7I polytype 2MA
The polytype 2MA (β-Sb5O7I) has the simplest acentric structure of the antimony oxideiodide family. It undergoes an antiferrodistortive phase transition at 438K and is both ferroelectric and ferroelastic below th...

Infrared and Raman study of Si2Te3
Results of ir and Raman investigations on trigonal layer-structured Si2Te3 single crystals are reported. The ir reflection spectrum withE⊥c exhibits seven reststrahl-like bands, whereas the corresponding spectrum...
