(1.8 MB)Perspective views of a single molecule in the ON and OFF states. The molecular lattice of the insertion matrix is visible around the molecule. [Imaging conditions: 95 Å x 95 Å; 1.0 pA; Vtip=+1.0 V; Frame interval: 30 min] |
(0.9 MB)
Perspective views of several molecules inserted into a dodecanethiolate monolayer. The lower image reveals that several of the molecules have switched OFF. [Imaging conditions: 470 Å x 470 Å; 1.0 pA; Vtip=-1.5 V; Frame interval: 13 hr 20 min] |
(0.9 MB)Same views as the previous image, this time the molecules that have switched off are highlighted with the yellow arrows. |
(85 KB)Several images from a series of 200 that monitors the behavior of a pair of molecules inserted into a dodecanethiolate monolayer. They can be seen to switch reversibly between the ON and OFF states. Frame numbers are given in the lower right of each image. [Imaging conditions: 1000 Å x 1000 Å; 0.1 pA; Vtip=-1.0 V] |
(84 KB)Same images as the previous. Total time is given in the lower right of each image in hours and minutes. |
(83 KB)Same images; time is given as hours, minutes and seconds. |

Perspective views of a single molecule inserted into a dodecanethiolate monolayer. The top image in each pair shows the molecule in the ON state and the bottom image shows the molecule in the OFF state. [Imaging conditions: 95 Å x 95 Å; 1.0 pA; Vtip=+1.0 V; Frame interval: 30 min] |
(0.8 MB)Perspective view of several molecules inserted into a dodecanethiolate monolayer. Several substrate step edges and monolayer defect sites are visible. [Imaging conditions: 470 Å x 470 Å; 1.0 pA; Vtip=-1.5 V] |
(0.8 MB)Perspective view of the same area. Several molecules have switched into the OFF state in this image. [Imaging conditions: 470 Å x 470 Å; 1.0 pA; Vtip=-1.5 V]
