The Chemical Structure of a Molecule Resolved by Atomic Force Microscopy
Abstract
Atomic Imaging Within Adsorbed Molecules: Scanning tunneling microscopy provides atomic resolution images of surfaces and adsorbed atoms, but imaging atoms within an organic molecule adsorbed on a surface is difficult because contrast is lacking in the states that determine the tunneling current. Atomic force microscopy should be able to resolve atoms through changes in short-range chemical forces, but resolution is lost if the scanning tip undergoes modifications or if it moves the molecule. Gross et al. (p. 1110 ) show that in situ functionalization of the tip—for example, with CO—can dramatically improve the resolution of images of pentacene molecules adsorbed on conducting surfaces, like copper, and nonconductors, like NaCl.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
