Introduction - Visualization of Hydrogen-Bond Dynamics - page 8

1.4 The Motivation and Scope of this Thesis
The motivation of this thesis is to exploit H-bond dynamics in terms of the single
molecule level using STM. STM capabilities, i.e., imaging, manipulation, chemical
modification and spectroscopic characterization for individual molecules, are
applied to observe, assemble and characterize water-based model systems on a
metal surface in my study. The scope of this thesis is imaging and characterization
of a single water molecule, small clusters, dissociated products (hydroxyl groups)
and water-hydroxyl complexes on a metal surface. The basic principles and
techniques of STM are described in Chap. 2 . The experimental setup and sample
preparation is detailed in Chap. 3 . The results and discussions are described in
Chap. 4 - 10 . Finally I summarize the conclusions in Chap. 11 .
