Diatomic Molecular Switches to Enable the Observation of Very-Low-Energy Vibrations

Diatomic Molecular Switches to Enable the Observation of Very-Low-Energy Vibrations. Pivetta, M., Ternes, M., Patthey, F., & Schneider, W. Physical Review Letters, 99(12):126104, September, 2007.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

Using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we found that the coadsorption of atomic hydrogen to single transition-metal and rare-earth-metal atoms on a Ag(100) surface gives rise to surprising phenomena, a bias dependent switching from a large to a small apparent size of the diatomic molecules and a concomitant appearance of very low-energy vibrational features of 3 to 7 meV in the differential conductance spectra. These phenomena, which have until now escaped observation, may be of general relevance for low-temperature adsorption.
