The very early stages of Pb deposition on $\mathrm{Si}(111)\ensuremath{-}(7\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}7)$ surfaces have been investigated in real time by scanning tunneli...
Atomic and Molecular Manipulation with the Scanning Tunneling Microscope
The prospect of manipulating matter on the atomic scale has fascinated scientists for decades. This fascination may be motivated by scientific and technological opportunities, o...
Atomic Structure of Graphene on SiO2
We employ scanning probe microscopy to reveal atomic structures and nanoscale morphology of graphene-based electronic devices (i.e., a graphene sheet supported by an insulating ...
