Abstract

We have developed a procedure for atomic scale alignment with respect to macroscopic objects. Metallic and etched registration marks on clean reconstructed Si surfaces are used to guide the tip of a scanning tunnellingmicroscope. The metallic marks are formed from Ta and can withstand thermal cycling up to 1500 K. These procedures have been used to investigate the interaction of Ag with a patterned fullerenemultilayer deposited on Si(111)-7×7.
