Scanning tunneling microscopes (STMs) open the
fascinating possibility to investigate the specific properties of material on
the nanoscale. The physics of nanostructures and the chemistry of single
molecules is accessible. We employ this technique in order to understand the
properties of nanostructures and their influence on the diffusion and reaction
of molecules. For this aim, we investigate similar processes on both metallic
surfaces and NaCl islands. In this presentation, I will discuss the thermal diffusion
of small molecules, CO and water, and the electron induced isomerisation of a bistable dye molecule with respect to its usability as a
molecular switch.
