摘要
We demonstrate and discuss the use of a scanning tunneling microscope operated at room temperature to push individual C-60 molecules out from their stable adsorption sites at Cu(111) steps, trap them into nanometer-sized Cu vacancy sites formed with the tip, or reposition them one-by-one along a Cu step under complete control.
