摘要: Abstract A successful atomic manipulation may be influenced by many factors such as bias voltage, tip structure and modes et al. Here, performing atomic-scale simulations with ab initio based many-body potentials, we have studied the vertical lateral of a single Co adatom on metallic Cu surfaces using STM tips at zero voltage. suitable scheme for manipulating Cu(5 5 4) surface is proposed. The optimum height determined reliability stepped assessed.
