Abstract

Single 4,7,12,15-tetrakis(4'-dimethylaminostyryl)[2.2]paracyclophane molecules adsorb on NiAl(110) in different configurations. When the symmetry axes of the molecules are properly oriented with respect to the surface lattice, three adsorbate states of different conductance can be reversibly induced and directly imaged with a scanning tunneling microscope. Couplings between tunneling electrons and adsorbate vibrational and electronic states are primarily responsible for the transformation. However, change from low to high conductance configuration can also be triggered by electric field in the junction.
