Figure 3. Effects of the Force Generated between a Metal Probe & a Molecule on the Vibration Energy

Caption

A. The force (Fz) generated on both upon changing the distance (z) between the probe tip and the molecule. Minus sign means attractive force generated. The figure shows experimental results with two different probes, indicating the force is different with a different probe. B. The vibration energy (E) of CO molecule upon changing the distance between the probe and the molecule. The probe exerting a bigger force on the molecule brings about a larger change in the vibration energy of the molecule.
