STM Tip Induced Phase-Transition of Copper Tetracyanoquinodimethane (Cutcnq)
We have demonstrated a field-induced, charge-transfer reaction driven by the electric field at the STM tip when the field generated by the STM exceeds the switching threshold of CuTCNQ charge transfer complex. We discuss the mechanism of this nanoscopic phenomenon in comparison with macroscopic observations.
