Volume 90, Issue 18

STM conductance images of quantum well states along an 11-atom Au chain on a NiAl substrate (top). The bottom images show how these states are disturbed when the chain absorbs a CO molecule, which disrupts the delocalization of electron-density waves in the chain. [N. Nilius, T. M. Wallis, and W. Ho, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 186102 (2003)]
