| Description | Journal: Chinese Physics Letters Scanning tunneling spectroscopy of metal phthalocyanines (MPc) adsorbed on a Au(111) surface with a Ni(111) scanning tunneling microscopy tip is simulated on the basis of first-principles calculations and a modified Bardeen approximation. Local d orbital symmetry matching between the molecule and the Ni tip brings obvious negative differential resistance (NDR) phenomena, of which, bias voltage and resonant orbitals can be tuned sensitively by the central ion of the molecule. Different dependences of the NDR peak on the tip-molecule distance at two bias polarities and rectifying phenomena are also interpreted in terms of specific structures of 3d orbitals of the adsorbed MPc and Ni tip. |
