Scanning tunneling microscopy of silver containing salt of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene

Abstract

The surface of silver containing salt of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) was studied with the computer-controlled scanning tunneling microscope developed in our laboratory. The crystal surface of the charge-transfer complex is well ordered and a regular array of corrugations is clearly visible. The prominent feature of the experimental scanning tunneling microscopy images is in agreement with the bulk crystal structure obtained by x-ray diffraction method.
