Figure 6

EFM image of 2,2-biimedazole-based nanorods. (a) Topography used for EFM imaging. (b) Phase imaging for a +5 V applied tip bias and a lift of 80 nm from the surface. (c) Phase imaging for a 0 V applied bias with a tip lift of 80 nm. (d) Phase imaging for a −5 V applied bias with a tip lift of 80 nm. (e) Cross-section diagram showing the intensity of the EFM signal through the phase imaging for molecules shown in (b), (c), and (d), follow colors. (f) Cross-section height profile of one nanorod shown in (a).
