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 …

High-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)
imaging with functionalized tips is well established, but a detailed understanding of the …

This fully revised, updated and reorganised third edition provides a thorough introduction to
the characterisation techniques used in surface science and nanoscience today. Each …

It was a long-cherished dream for chemists to take a direct look at chemical bonding, a
fundamental component of chemistry. This dream was finally accomplished by the state-of …

Recently, the family of high-resolution scanning probe imaging techniques using decorated
tips has been complemented by a method based on inelastic electron tunneling …

We present a robust but still efficient simulation approach for high-resolution scanning
tunneling microscopy (STM) with a flexible tip apex showing sharp submolecular features …

We study a thermally activated on-surface planarization reaction by a detailed analysis of
the reactant and reaction products from atomically resolved atomic force microscopy (AFM) …

We introduce an efficient method to simulate high-resolution atomic force microscopy (HR-
AFM) images with CO probes. Our model explicitly takes into account the charge densities of …

Regioselectivity is of fundamental importance in chemical synthesis. Although many
concepts for site-selective reactions are well established for solution chemistry, it is not a …

In recent years atomic force microscopy (AFM) at highest resolution was widely applied to
mostly planar molecules, while its application toward exploring species with structural …
