Abstract

A tight-binding model for scanning tunneling microscopy images of a molecule adsorbed on a metal surface is described. The model is similar in spirit to that used to analyze conduction along molecular wires connecting two metal leads and makes it possible to relate these two measurements to each other. In particular, the dependence of molecular conduction properties along and across a molecular ...
