1. Moleculas organicas sobre superficies metalicas : uma investigação teorica / Organic molecules on metalic surfaces : a thoretical investigation
Recently, the first molecular nanowheel was characterized with scanning tunneling micro-scope experiments. It was demonstrated that a specifically designed hydrocarbon molecule (C44H24) could roll over a copper substrate along the [110] direction of a surface. The molecule consists in two wheels based on two triptycene groups which are connected by an axle.

2. STM probing of local oscillations of the Fano-Kondo effect: a Doniach-Sunjic approach for the Kondo peak
The use of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) for the investigation of Kondo adatoms on normal metallic surfaces reveals a Fano-Kondo behavior of the conductance as a function of the tip bias. In this work, the Doniach-Sunjic expression is used to describe the Kondo peak and we analyze the effect of a complex Fano phase, arising from an external magneti

3. STM light emission spectroscopy of individual quantum wells: measurement of transport parameters in real space
By spectroscopically analyzing the light emitted from the tip-sample gap of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), we have investigated the carrier transport as well as the luminescence properties of AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells (QW's). The emission intensity form a target well was measured as a function of the tip position on a cleaved (110) surface of the Q

4. Influência do efeito Kondo na condutância de contatos pontuais de superfícies metálicas. / The Kondo effect influence on the conductance of pontual contacts on metallic surfaces.
A microscopia de varredura por tunelamento (MVT) é uma nova maneira de se observar experimentalmente o efeito Kondo. Quando uma concentração de átomos é adicionada a um meio metálico (metal hospedeiro), a corrente de tunelamento passa a depender de fatores de origem não geométrica. O rearranjo das cargas dentro do volume metálico (oscilações de Fr

5. Espectroscopia a Nível Atômico Usando um Microscópio de Tunelamento (STM) / Spectroscopy at atomic level by using a scanning tuneling microscope (STM)
The goal of the present work was to upgrade the home-made Scanning Tunneling Microscope present in our group, adding the new hardware necessary to carry out spectroscopic measurements. A new software was also developed to control the new functions of the microscope. In order to check the performance of the whole system, several types of experiments where car

6. Immobilization of DNA for scanning probe microscopy.
Reproducible scanning tunneling microscope and atomic force microscope images of entire molecules of uncoated plasmid DNA chemically bound to surfaces are presented. The chemically mediated immobilization of DNA to surfaces and subsequent scanning tunneling microscope imaging of DNA molecules demonstrate that the problem of molecular instability to forces ex

7. Images of a lipid bilayer at molecular resolution by scanning tunneling microscopy.
The molecular structure of a fatty acid bilayer has been recorded with a scanning tunneling microscope operating in air. The molecular film, a bilayer of cadmium icosanoate (arachidate), was deposited onto a graphite substrate by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The packing of the lipid film was found to be partially ordered. Along one axis of the triclinic

8. Thickness determination of biological samples with a zeta-calibrated scanning tunneling microscope.
A single-tube scanning tunneling microscope has been zeta-calibrated by using atomic steps of crystalline gold and was used for measuring the thickness of two biological samples, metal-coated as well as uncoated. The hexagonal surface layer of the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans with an open network-type structure shows thickness values that are strongly i

9. Masking generates contiguous segments of metal-coated and bare DNA for scanning tunneling microscope imaging.
To date, no microscopic methods are available to confirm scanning tunneling microscope (STM) images of DNA. The difficulties encountered in repeating these images may be attributed to inadequate distribution of molecules on the substrate, poor adhesion to the substrate, or the low conductivity of the molecules. However, these factors are difficult to assess

10. Structure of hydrated oligonucleotides studied by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy.
We have used the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to image several synthetic oligonucleotides adsorbed onto a positively charged Au(111) electrode. The molecules were deposited and imaged in aqueous electrolyte under potential control, a procedure that eliminated the problem of the substrate artifacts that had limited some previous STM studies. Experiment

11. Scanning tunneling microscopy of mercapto-hexyl-oligonucleotides attached to gold.
6-mercapto hexyl-oligonucleotides bind to a gold surface strongly enough to permit imaging by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). STM images showed worm-like chains that were approximately 12-(A-wide for single-stranded DNA and 20-(A-wide for double-stranded DNA. The chain lengths corresponded to 3.4 +/- 0.4 A per basepair for double-stranded DNA and 2.2

12. Atomic resolution images of solid-liquid interfaces
A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) can provide atomic-resolution images of solids covered with a variety of liquids, including cryogenic fluids, both polar and nonpolar solvents, conductive aqueous solutions, oils, and even greases. This short overview includes images of solids covered with liquid nitrogen, liquid helium, paraffin oil, silicone oil, micro
