Abstract
Abstract Ordered molecular structure has been observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in the disordered films of an azobenzene derivative on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surfaces. The disordered films were formed by a direct deposition method. The present result gives the first report on the observation of tip-induced ordered molecular structure from disordered films by STM, and it demonstrates the possibility of orderly arranging molecules on surfaces through the action of an STM tip.
