Abstract

The injection of electrons from the scanning tunneling microscope tip can be used to perform nanoscale chemistry and study hot electron transport through surfaces. While nonlocal manipulation has been demonstrated primarily for aromatic adsorbates, here we confirm that oxygen atoms bonded to the Si(...
