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[{\rm d}I/{\rm d}V] 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) [{\rm d}I/{\rm d}V] 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.
