One of the most remarkable and exciting achievements in the field of scanning probe
microscopy (SPM) in the last years is the unprecedented sub-molecular resolution of both …

A common characteristic of borophene polymorphs is the presence of hollow hexagons
(HHs) in an otherwise triangular lattice. The vast number of possible HH arrangements …

Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) based on scanning tunneling microscopy
(STM) opens a new avenue for vibrational spectroscopy at single bond level. Since its birth …

We present a brief pedagogical review of theoretical Green's function methods applicable to
open quantum systems out of equilibrium, in general, and single molecule junctions, in …

The low-energy excitation spectrum of a metal-free phthalocyanine molecule on Ag (111) is
probed in scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiments. The use of functionalized p-orbital …

The interaction between a probing tip and an adsorbed molecule can significantly impact the
molecular chemical structure and even induce its motion on the surface. In this study, the tip …

Scanning tunneling microscopy using a CO-functionalized tip is combined with simulations
to explore the impact of the CO tilt angle on topographies of a single Cu atom and CO …

We developed a new scheme for cryogen-free cooling down to sub-3 K temperature range
and ultra-low vibration level. An ultra-high-vacuum cryogen-free scanning probe microscope …

We review the effect of van der Waals (vdW) dispersion interactions on the determination of
adsorption energy, vibration frequency, catalytic activity, and tribological property of weak …

We demonstrated that a nitric oxide (NO) molecule on Cu (110) acts as an “ON-OFF-ON
toggle switch” that can be turned on and off by repulsive force and electron injection …
