STM-induced tautomerization of phthalocyanines on BiAg2/Ag(111) — •Markus Böhme1, Markus Leisegang1, David Maiberger1, and Matthias Bode1,2 — 1Physikalisches Institut, Experimentelle Physik II, Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg, Germany — 2Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen Center for Complex Material Systems (RCCM), Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg, Germany
Organic molecules such as deprotonated phthalocyanines can show
a tautomerization process in which the inner hydrogen atom changes its position.
This electron-induced process cannot only be be triggered when the STM tip is positioned directly above the molecule,
but also by injecting charge carriers into the substrate a few nm away from the molecules [1,2].
Whereas experiments have mostly been performed on noble metals with a relatively simple electronic structure,
such as Ag(111) with its electron-like quasi-free surface state, we will focus in this talk on a surface
with a more complex band structure, i.e., the BiAg2 surface alloy on Ag(111) which exhibits a giant Rashba effect [3].
We will present voltage- and current-dependent data of the tautomerization rate of HPc on BiAg2 /Ag(111)
and discuss the angular dependency of the switching rate of the molecule.
