16. There is another possibility that the methylthiolate monolayer is perturbed by the moving STM tip. When the tip was approached to the surface more closely using small tunneling bias voltages (<100 mV), the atomic arrangement of Au(111)-(1 × 1) was observed, which suggests sweeping of the surface thiolates by the tip. At the typically used tunneling gap conditions (20-40 MΩ), however, it is unlikely that the tip-induced perturbation causes the invisibility of the methylthiolates, since methylthiolates located near step edges could be imaged with the same conditions as described later.
