Abstract

In this Letter we suggest a new method of manipulating individual molecules with scanning probes using a "pick-up-and put-down" mode. We demonstrate that the number of molecules picked up by the tip and deposited in a different location can be controlled by adjusting the pulling velocity of the tip and the distance of closest approach of the tip to the surface.
