Exploring in-plane interactions beside an adsorbed molecule — •Shinjae Nam1, Elisabeth Riegel1, Lukas Hörmann2, Oliver T. Hofmann2, Oliver Gretz1, Alfred J. Weymouth1, and Franz J.

In-plane interactions between two molecules on a surface can be used to guide on-surface chemical reactions. Our implementation to study in-plane interactions is Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM), where the tip of an AFM is oscillated laterally to directly measure the lateral forces. We investigate the short-range interactions by approaching the side of an adsorbate with a CO-terminated tip. By obtaining 3D data sets at the sides of PTCDA and CO, we demonstrated the large influence of the metal dipole at the tip apex. While previous work has noted this for strongly polarized materials, including defects in ionic crystals [1] and hBN [2], we showed that the metal tip dipole above CO must be also accounted for when measuring closer to single molecules.
