Single molecule charging by atomic force microscopy.
AFM/KPM charging and charge mapping of polyamine charge carriers in a PMMA matrix is reported. Selective charging of the designed charge carrier is demonstrated at concentrations down to a single molecule. This works constitutes electrochemical charging and detection of single redox-active organic molecules in low dielectric matrices by probe microscopy.
