摘要：

From the practical point of view, the aim in nanofabrication is to build the smallest possible device operable in air and at room temperature. In this letter, we present a procedure in which a scanning tunneling microscope is used to remove a small number of atoms from a surface at room temperature and pressure. Its potential for high density storage of information is shown by two results: (i) two subnanometer marks, 1.2 nm apart were impressed and (ii) these marks remained unaltered after several observations.
