To explore a proof-of-concept for atomically precise manufacturing (APM) using scanning probe microscopy (SPM), first principle theoretical calculations of atom-by-atom transfer from the apex of an SPM tip to an individual radical on a surface-bound organic molecule have been performed. Atom transfe...
