摘要：
We propose a new mechanism influencing the contrast in STM images. Tt involves the polarization of the surface by the electric field from the tip; this effects the contrast when different parts of the surface have different polarizabilities. We demonstrate its importance for the case of ethene (C2H4) molecules adsorbed on the Si(001) surface; for this system we are able to obtain qualitative agreement between experiments and ab initio calculations by including the tip-induced field.
