K.W. Hipps: Professor of
Chemistry and Materials Science, Washington State University
Topics will include: Imaging and spectroscopy of Single Molecules
on metal surfaces in UHV; deposition methods and characterization
of thin films, and electronic and vibrational states and their role
in the electron tunneling process. Examples of STM images will be
presented and the mechanisms of image formation will be discussed.
Vibronic and electronic state mediated tunneling spectroscopy and
experimental techniques for variable temperature UHV imaging will
be included. An overview of 2-D self-assembled structures will be
given.

Jan Hoh: Assoc. Professor
of Physiology and Chemical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University
General methods of measuring forces on the nanometer scale will
be discussed. Issues related to imaging soft materials and some
timely examples will be presented. Issues particularly relevant
for imaging biological materials and the magnitude of forces involved
will be included. Image interpretation, especially in light of the
various flavors of SPM currently being employed, is an important
topic that will be addressed.

Stuart Lindsay: Professor
of Physics and Astronomy, Arizona State University
A review experimental methods of contacting molecules, including
break junctions, fabricated nanojunctions, scanning probe microscopes
and self-assembled devices will be presented. Methods for making
well defined covalent contacts to single molecules will be described.
The resulting IV data will be compared to theories. Single molecule-metal
electronic phenomena will be discussed.
