Method of forming a polymer molecule chain

摘要

This invention relates to a method of forming a polymer chain of a desired length in a thin film comprising a monomer having a multiple bond in a desired position. This invention is a method of polymerizing a monomer to form the polymer chain by applying a pulse voltage to the thin film comprising the monomer having a multiple bond in a desired position. The polymer chain may be polymerized to a desired length in a desired position. The pulse voltage, may be applied using the probe of a scanning tunnel microscope. The length of the monomer may be controlled using a defect formed on the above-mentioned thin film as an end point of the polymer chain.
