C203 course Molecular Magnet: an Example of STM Application J. Wu Phys. Dept.
Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) Small-scale STM STM image of carbon nanotube The tunneling current from the tip is given by W is the barrier width, V is the voltage, r is the local density of the sample.
Molecular Magnet: an interdisciplinary field Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) Under ultra high vacuum 1*10-10t, thermal heating CoPc source & sublimate it onto the substrate. Advantage: very clean Structure formula of CoPc Co atom carry magnetic moment.
3D model of CoPc and d-CoPc CoPc d-CoPc
Summary STM is a wonderful tool to observe and manipulate the nano-world. Molecular magnet is an interesting field with many open questions.
