STM imaging of single-molecule switching and diffusion on surfaces. (a) Single oligo(phenylene ethynylene) molecules near step edges in a Au{111} surface exhibit both ON/OFF conductance switching and migration up and down the monatomic step edges. (b) Sequential images of the same molecule show three populations of apparent heights analyzed over time and in histogram form (c). Adapted from ref (81).
