摘要
We report inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) of a C(8) alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). High-resolution STM IETS spectra show clear features of the C-H bending and C-C stretching modes in addition to the C-H stretching mode, which enables a precise comparison with previously reported vibrational spectroscopy, especially electron energy loss spectroscopy data. Intensity variation of vibrational peaks with tip position is discussed with the STM IETS detection mechanism.
