Cl-induced etching of Si(100)-(2×1) under conditions of super-saturation. A saturated surface was heated to 800 K while being exposed to a Cl2 flux to facilitate Cl insertion into dimer bonds. The dark lines are etch pits in the top layer that were produced by a new reaction pathway

Description:
Single-electron charging events of a quantum dot that forms in a semiconducting carbon nanotube at temperature T=4K, visualized by an atomic force microscope using resonance frequency shift microscopy. The quantum dot is located at the center of the concentric rings. As the tip moves towards the quantum dot, a single electron tunnels onto the quantum dot each time the tip crosses a dark line.
