Abstract

We present a cluster model to describe the localization of hot charge carriers on the Si(111)-7×7 surface, which leads to (nonlocal) desorption of chlorobenzene molecules in scanning tunneling microscope (STM) manipulation experiments. The localized charge carriers are modeled by a small cluster. By...
