The recent progress in scanning probe microscopy provided unprecedented atomic resolution of single organic molecules on surfaces. Namely, the submolecular resolution was achieved in AFM [1], STM [2] and also IETS [3] mode employing functionalized tips. The origin of the submolecular contrast can be rationalized by a simple mechanical model introducing a lateral bending of a flexible tip apex [4,5]. However direct experimental evidence correlating the AFM/STM/IETS imaging mechanisms has been missing so far.
Here we present simultaneous high resolution AFM/STM/IETS imaging of iron(II) phthalocyanine (FePc) on Au(111) surface acquired with CO-functionalized probe. The acquired data demonstrate unambiguously the common imaging mechanism of the modes. We will show that not only renormalization of the frustrated translational mode [5], but also renormalization of the amplitude of IETS signal affect the IETS imaging.
