Fig. 3 This research not only unveils a new mechanism of molecule-assisted atomic migration but also introduces a scalable, efficient method for atomic patterning under ambient conditions. The findings hold promise for future applications in plasmonics, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, atomic manufacturing, catalysis, and molecular-scale electronics.
