摘要
The vertical manipulation of native adatoms on a III-V semiconductor surface was achieved in a scanning tunneling microscope at 5 K. Reversible repositioning of individual In atoms on InAs(111)A allows us to construct one-atom-wide In chains. Tunneling spectroscopy reveals that these chains host quantum states deriving from an adatom-induced electronic state and substantial substrate-mediated coupling. Our results show that the combined approach of atom manipulation and local spectroscopy is capable to explore atomic-scale quantum structures on semiconductor platform.
