DFT simulations can aid in the assignment of observed STM features
Computation suggest multiple possible binding sites for Cl2 (Cu and the organic ligand)
• Custom designed MBE cell for MPc deposition
• MBE cell capabilities include:• fast introduction of different MPcs• differential pumping• H2O cooled Cu heat shield to minimize heat transfer and protect UHV instrumentation• plate valve allowing separation between MBE cell and UHV chamber

Low Temperature STM for Single Molecule Studies: funded by NSF
• Scanner: Beetle type with x-,y-coarse movement • Cooling: Liquid He bath cryostat; Scanner 100% surrounded by a 4K shield• Vibration isolation: Internal spring system with eddy current damping and external isolation with pneumatic isolation leg• Additional shutter to control in-situ gas dosing at low temperature onto STM mounted sample• Temperature variation either by heating the complete STM scanner or just the sample
The Createc STM-SY-014-2 combines a low-temperature STM (LT-STM) with three chambers: load-lock, sample preparation, and analysis.
High Resolution Images of Complex Molecules At Low Temperature due to Extremely Stable Environment
Instrument Features:
- Additional He gas cooled radiation shield inbetween to improve the thermal isolation
- Eddy current vibration damping of thependulum motion of the inner cryostat
- STM is completely isolated (thermally andelectrically) when tunneling
