Atomic / Molecular Manipulation

The software offers a wide range of atomic / molecular manipulation techniques. Lateral manipulation and the formation of atomic scale structures can be performed either in constant current or constant height mode. Furthermore in combination with the lateral manipulation techniques the application of different tunneling voltage pulses together with simultaneous control over the tip surface distance can be used for the controlled chemical bond breaking and bond formation. So far the dissociation, the synthesis, the desorption and the controlled conformational change of molecules have been demonstrated (see references).
