Arrangement of individual atoms and molecules with atomic precision and understanding the resulting properties at the molecular level are ultimate goals of chemistry, biology, and materials science. For the past three decades, scanning probe microscopy has made strides towards these goals through the direct observation of individual atoms and molecules, enabling the discovery of new and unexpected phenomena. This talk will discuss the origin of forces governing motion of small organic molecules and their extended self-assembly into two-dimensional surface structures by direct observation of individual molecules using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).

최근 개개 원자들의 움직임을 조절할 수 있는 scanning tunnelling microscope(STM)의 유용성을 입증할만한 가공할 발명은 원자 한개로 ON-OFF 상태를 구현 할 수 있는 원자 스위치의 발명이라 할 수 있다. 이 원자 스위치는 원자를 조정하는 STM의 scanning용 침으로 부터 원자 하나를 니켈 기판위에 전달 할 수 있게 함으로써 가능하게 되었다. STM의 Xenon침과 기판 사이를 Xenon원자 하나가 이동함으로써 스위치 작용이 이루어 지는데 이 스위치 작용이란 높은 전도 상태의 침으로부터 낮은 전도 상태의 기판으로 원자가 이동함으로써 침과 기판 사이에 이루어지는 전기적 전도 현상을 말한다 이러한 전기적 전도 상태는 마이크로 회로에서 중추적인 역할을 수행하는 ON-OFF의 2진 소자나, 스위치 소자로써 사용할 수가 있다.

1980년대 초, IBM의 과학자들에 의해 양자역학 현상에 기초한 새로운 현미경이 발명되었다. 뾰족한 금속 팁에 전압을 걸고 전도성 시료의 표면에 접근시키면, 팁이 표면에 접촉하기 직전에 터널링에 의한 전류가 흐르게 된다. 이 전류는 거리에 매우 민감해서 고체 표면에 배열된 원자들에 의해 형성되는 표면 굴곡 (surface corrugation)이 분간 가능하였다. 이 기계가 바로 STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope)이다 (그럼 1). 이 발명이 있기까지의 약 2세기 가량의 시간 동안 "누구에 의해서도 결코 감지된 적 없는" (H. J. Robinson, Physics Today, March, 24, 1984.) 원자와 분자는 과학자들의 논리 속에 이론상으로 존재할 뿐이었다. STM의 발명으로 인해 인류는 바야흐로 개개의 원자와 분자를 직접적으로 감지할 수 있게 되었던 것이다. 처음으로 STM을 이용하여 원자해상도로 본 표면은 실리콘의 안정한 표면인 Si (111)-7${\times}$7 표면이었는데, 이러한 실리콘 표면의 STM 사진의 예를 그림 2에 나타내었다. (중략)타내었다. (중략)

In this paper, parallel scrambling techniques are considered for practical use in the SDH transmission and the ATM transmission. In the ATM transmission, there are two ways of transmitting ATM cells - the SDH-based and the cell-based - and the corresponding scrambling techniques differ accordingly. For the SDH transmission and the SDH-based ATM transmission, the FSS (frame synchronous scrambling) is applied to the STM frames : while for the cell-based ATM trans-mission, the DSS(distributed sample scrambling) is used on the ATM cell stream. The parallel scrambling techniques are examined for the FSS and the DSS, and applied to achieve the parallel FSSs for use in the SDH and the SDH-based ATM transmission along with the parallel DSS applicable to the cell-based ATM transmission. The resulting(8, 4) PSRG(parallel shift resister generator) and (8, 16) PSRG based parallel scramblings are directly applicable for the STM-1 rate processing of the STM-4 and STM-16 scramblings, respectively. Likewise, the resulting (1, 8)PSRG and double-sampling-double-correction based parallel scrambling techniques can be practically used for a low-rate processing of the SDH-based and the cell-based ATM signal scrambling respectively.

Despite growing interest in Ge as a possible alternative to Si, reliable data on Ge surface has been relatively scarce. Using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we investigate band-bending effects of localized charge traps at Ge(001) surface at 78 K. For this investigation, we prepared nearly defect-free Ge(001) surface by keeping the background pressure to < $1{\times}10^{-10}$ mbar during outgassing. Ge(001) surfaces this obtained exhibit a flat-band condition, and deposition of charge traps induce a distinct, sharp boundary between pinned and depinned surface area in the constant current mode STM images. We will show the tip-surface interaction plays an essential role in producing the boundary, and discuss about the conditions that enable the pinning effect.

Ab initio periodic Hartree-Fock calculations with the full potential and minimum basis set are applied to interpretation of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) images on 1TVTe2. Our results show that the simulated STM image shows asymmetry while the simulated AFM image shows the circular electron densities at the bright spots without asymmetry of electron density to agree with the experimental AFM image. The bright spots of both the STM and AFM images of VTe2 are associated with the surface Te atoms, while the patterns of bright spots of STM and AFM images are different.

We characterized the physisorption of p-iodo-phenyl octadecyl ether molecules (I-POE) onto superlattice regions of graphite surfaces using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The formation of self-organized I-POE monolayers does not affect the overall structures of moir$\acute{e}$ patterns and their modulation periods. However, the packing density of the I-POE monolayer and the orientations of lamella structures were sensitive to the underlying superlattice structure. Depending on the bias voltage, the STM images selectively showed moir$\acute{e}$ pattern, I-POE layer, or both. Reflecting the local density of states at a certain energy level, the STM images thereby revealed the relative energy level scale of the superlattice with respect to the molecular orbitals of I-POE.

Stuff threshold modulation(STM) technique is analyzed as method for reducing pointer adjustment jitter. The method for jitter reduction is described, and simulation results are presented to illustrate rms jitter performance. The results show that rms jitter value decrease to less than 50％ as compared to a conventional pointer adjustment system.

We have studied the atomic structure of Si(100)-c(4$\times$4) reconstruction using scanning tunneling microscopy(STM). The c(4$\times$4) reconstruction can be formed by annealing the hydrogen exposured surface at temperatures between 850 and 960 K. At this temperature ranges, adsorbed hydrogen atoms are all desorbed. Therefore, the c(4$\times$4) reconstruction is due to the Si dimers on surface. The filled and empty state images of the STM were interpreted in terms of Si dimers in c(4$\times$4) primitive cell forming the reconstruction. Based on the STM images and hydrogen adsorption experiment on c(4$\times$40 surface, we suggest that Si dimers in c(4$\times$40 unit cell are perpendicular ad-dimer to the underlying Si dimer rows.

This paper proposed a new STM-based media streaming scheme to assure the wireless ad hoc link quality. The proposed scheme can assure the link quality by the stream monitoring, assurance, and update procedure, and it can be monitored the media frame by streaming time $t_{new}$. This paper minimizes the link error rate and re-transmission rate using the media streaming update based on the frame size. The simulation results show thst the proposed scheme outperforms STCP and RMST.
