Description
"From London to Morse via Binnig, Quate, and Gerber", Alonso Perez et al. is an invited review/retrospective and perspective article for the "Forty Years of Atomic Force Microscopy" special issue of the Journal of Microscopy. As such, the majority of the data have been previously published. However, two figures in the paper (Fig. 5 and Fig. 7) present new data related to atom-by-atom assembly of Cu clusters and manipulation of a Cs atom on InSb(110). This archive contains the raw data for those figures.
The archive for Fig 5 contains the raw MATRIX df and Z files, and the associated .mtrx "base" file that's required, and must be in the same folder, to get the metadata (in ScientaOmicron's infuriatingly opaque proprietary data format). These data were acquired in 2022 and we have since switched to the rather less opaque Nanonis format (see below re. Fig. 7). The archive for Fig. 5 also contains raw ASCII dI/dV files that can be used to reproduce the spectra shown in Fig. 5(e). Please don't hesitate to get in touch with the corresponding author (philip.moriarty@nottingham.ac.uk) if you are having problems opening the MATRIX files.
The archive for Fig. 7 contains all of the df profiles that make up the waterfall plot in that figure. These are in Nanonis ASCII format so much easier to handle.
