The effect of tip structure in atomic manipulation : a combined DFT and AFM study.
Non-contact atomic force microscopy allows us to directly probe the interactions between atoms and molecules. When operated in UHV and at low temperatures, a host of experiments, uniquely possible with the technique, can be carried out. The AFM allows us to characterise the forces present on a sur...
