Abstract

A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) has been used to create nanostructures on nickel thin films. A systematic procedure for the creation of such structures has been developed. Various possible mechanisms involved in such creations have been discussed. Based on our observations, a field-induced suction of the plastically deformed surface has been proposed.
