摘要: A digital image tracking algorithm based on Fourier-transform cross-correlation has been developed to correct for instrumental drift in scanning tunneling microscope images. technique was eliminate cumulative errors associated with fractional pixel drift. This used monitor conductance changes different conformations conjugated molecular switch molecules and trace the diffusion of individual benzene Ag{110}. Molecular motions have tracked up 25 h (400 images) acquisition time.
