摘要
We report on a reversible patterning of ambient carbon-rich deposits on a gold surface by using a voltage-biased atomic force microscope tip in air. This approach is capable of controlled writing, erasing, and rewriting of carbon-rich deposits with sims in nanometer regime. Physical mechanism for this reversible patterning is proposed to be the current-induced electrochemical process.
