Plants associate with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi facilitating nutrient acquisition. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi produce chitooligosaccharides (COs) and lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs), that promote symbiosis...
Concerted thermal-plus-electronic nonlocal desorption of chlorobenzene from Si(111)-7 × 7 in the STM
The rate of desorption of chemisorbed chlorobenzene molecules from the Si(111)-7 × 7 surface, induced by nonlocal charge injection from an STM tip, depends on the surface temperature. Between 260 and 313 K, we find an...
