In comparison, vibrations in inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy are observed at the threshold voltages corresponding to the vibrational energies for single molecules adsorbed on a conducting substrate. Tunneling occurs through the vacuum barrier in a one-step process. [B. C. Stipe, M. A. Rezaei, and W. Ho, Science 280, 1732 (1998)].
