Image parameters

When you want to perform an advanced search or upload a file, there are some parameters that will be prompted to introduce them. The explanation of each of them is the following:

• Access: Determines if the publication can be accessed by anyone that uses the patform (Public) or only you and the "Allowed users" (Private).
• Type: SPM technique used.
• File: File containing the image data. More details about such file can be found here.
• Experiment type: Determines if the image uploaded corresponds to one obtained by actually performing a measure (Experimental) or is a theoretical construction (Theoretical).
• Tip: Material of the microscopy's tip used to generate the image.
• Substrate: Several common options for substrates including inert ones (NaCl bilayer and copper nitride Cu3 N) or metal and oxide substrates. The "none" option is intended for theoretical simulations where is common to include just the adsorbed molecular species in the calculations.
• Substrate orientation" The orientation is identified with the Miller Indexes (e.g. 110 for Cu(110) surface). and the reconstruction: e.g. Cu(110)-(2 x 1)O). Its format has to be the three numbers between -1 and 1 separated by commas.
• Image content: The image contains a single isolated molecule, several isolated molecules, or a cluster of molecules interacting through weak, non-covalent interactions like hydrogen, halogen or metal-coordination bonds.
• Molecule CID: You can input de molecule CID assigned by PubChem or you can introduce its name or formula in when uploading the molecule and it will be fetched form the PubChem molecule.
• Interaction measured: This item refers to the magnitude measured or calculated to produce the image and stored in the file: frequency shift (e.g. in Frequency Modulation AFM, FM-AFM), Force (e.g. in Contact AFM), Tunneling Current (STM), Local Contact Potential Difference (LCPD, e.g. in Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy, KPFM), Dissipation (Excitation amplitude in FM-AFM), Amplitude (e.g. in Amplitude Modulation AFM, AM-AFM) or Phase (AM-AFM).
• Operation method: Constant Height (the common method in AFM imaging with functionalized tips), Constant Interaction (e.g. constant frequency shift, constant LCPD, constant tunneling current, constant amplitude in AM-AFM...), Interaction 3D volume (e.g. 3D Force maps in FM-AFM). Additional details about the operation method and experimental parameters (e.g. applied bias during the measurement) can be included here with a free format.
• DOI: This item identifies the publication where an image corresponding to the upload data appears. This item can be left blank during the upload and modify the entry later to include it.
• Contact: If you tick this box your email will be shown together with the rest of the information for this database entry.
• Additional information: Any additional information that you consider relevant (in free format).
