Figure 12
Self-assembled porous network of DCA molecules on Cu(111). (a) Wide-area STM topography scan (+2.0 V, 50 pA, 300 K). The inset shows the structural formula of DCA. (b) High-resolution STM topography image recorded with a DCA molecule attached to the STM tip (−0.5 V, 100 pA, 4.4 K). An (approximate) model of the molecular structure is overlaid. (c) spectra (metal tip, open feedback loop) at the positions marked in panel (b) (solid curves), and on clean Cu(111) (dashed curve). Positive voltage corresponds to unoccupied states. (d) map at +0.14 V showing the lateral distribution of the QWS (metal tip, open feedback loop). The image is slightly slanted due to a small drift during the scan which takes several hours. |
