Abstract
I describe the assembly and characterization of a hydroxyl dimer on a Cu(110) surface in this chapter. A dimer is produced by the reaction between a water and atomic oxygen with the STM manipulation. Hydroxyl groups in a dimer have an inclined geometry in common with a monomer and flips back and forth between two states. Although the tunneling switching observed for a monomer is quenched for a dimer due to the formation of H bond between hydroxyl groups as well as the increased mass effect, the switching can be induced by the vibrational excitation via the inelastic electron tunneling process. It is found that the switching results in non-linear characteristics in the averaged I–V curve measured over a dimer. I propose a model describing the relation between the vibrational excitation and non-linear I–V characteristics in the STM junction.

1 The OH dimer is put on one side of a three-layer Cu slab arrayed in a 3 × 3 surface unit cell. The other conditions are the same with the monomer described in Sect. 7.2.2.
