摘要
We have revisited our hypothesis [K. Nagaoka et al., Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 57 (2018) 020301] regarding the control of the motion and assembly of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) molecules on a Bi(001) surface using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip. The proposal that the observed diffusion and condensation are not due to the adsorption/desorption of molecules via the tip by applying a bias voltage was investigated for field-induced manipulation. Our experiments show that CuPc cannot move across steps or condense on different terraces on the Bi(001) surface. When confined to a nano-scale region, the CuPc molecules assemble into ordered single-layer islands. The island position can be manipulated using the STM tip, with an almost constant number of condensed molecules remaining inside the terrace. These results allowed us to rule out the possibility of picking-up and depositing molecules by the STM tip. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
