Abstract:
At low temperature (5 K), a single biphenyl molecule adsorbed on a Si(100) surface behaves as a bistable device which can be reversibly switched by electronic excitation with the scanning tunneling microscope tip. Density functional theory suggests that the biphenyl molecule is adsorbed with one dissociated hydrogen atom bonded to a neighbor surface silicon atom. By desorbing this hydrogen atom with the STM tip, the interaction of the molecule with the surface is modified such that it becomes transformed into a multistable device with four stable states having switching yields increased by almost 2 orders of magnitude
