Measuring the reactivity of a silicon-terminated probe
Description
Raw data files used to construct paper figures:
In this study we probe the reactivity of silicon clusters at the end of a scanning probe tip by examining their interaction with closed shell fullerene molecules. Counter to intuitive expectations, many silicon clusters do not react strongly with the fullerene cage, and we find that only specific highly oriented clusters have sufficient reactivity to break open the existing carbon-carbon bonds.
