Abstract

A variable-low temperature scanning tunneling microscope (VT-STM), which operates from 77 to 350 K in ultrahigh vacuum, was built and used to study imaging and manipulation of benzene molecules on Si surfaces. Four types of benzene adsorption structures were first imaged on the Si(5 5 12)-2xl surface. Desorption process of benzene molecules by tunneling electrons was studied on the Si(001)-2xn surface.
