| Description | Journal: Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter The authors demonstrate the first reported production of etched lines on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface using a scanning tunnelling microscope. This has been achieved by moving the imaging tip, biased at a minimum of 3.5 V of either polarity, in a controlled fashion over the substrate at a velocity of 10 nm $s^{-1}$ or greater. The potential of the technique to control the width and depth of the lines is investigated. The resultant etched structures may be used to evaluate the performance of the piezo-crystal tube and tip. The potential of this technique in the study of bio-molecules is noted. |
