Fig.3. Spectromicroscopy characterization of a short chain generated using D2 .
a) Wide range (-1V to +1V) dI/dV spectrum of the D2/Au(111) system. b) Inelastic tunneling electron spectroscopy as measured by d2I/dV2of the D2/Au(111) chains. The positions where the individual spectra were measured are marked by color-coded crosses in panel c. The intensity of the red curve was divided by a factor of four. c) Chain mapped under constant height dI/dV condition at +20 mV using a functionalized tip. The chain is surrounded by an oblong island of dense D2 molecules, the structure of which can be resolved near the upper edge in the image, size: 6.9 x3.8 nm2.
