Simultaneously
recorded (a) ES and (d) FS images of TiO2(110) containing
one single OHb and one OHb pair. (b–c)
As (a), but recorded after the capping H atoms
of the OHb pair were removed sequentially using +2.6 V, 200 ms tip pulses. Solid circles mark
the positions of single OHb. Open circles mark the OHb within the OHb pair. Arrows indicate the capping
H that was removed in each frame. (e–f) Corresponding FS images
of (b–c), respectively. All images were recorded at 6.6 K.
Image size: (4 × 4) nm2. Scan parameters (V, I): (a–c) ±2 V, 30 pA; (d–f)
−2 V, 1 pA. (g–h) Difference images formed by subtraction
of the FS images obtained before and after the removal of each capping
H within the OHb pair.
