H-terminated n-Si(111):H surfaces in contact with an aqueous electrolyte exhibit electronically active states, due to hydrogen interdiffused in the n-Si(111):H subsurface region, which allow for charge charge transfer, as, e.g., Cu electrodeposition at electron depleted n-Si(111):H surfaces.
A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was utilised for generating localised electric fields on the nanoscale at the n-Si(111):H surface to study their influence on Co electrodeposition.
These fields modify the H-termination and allow for localised Co electrodeposition.
The position of localised electrodeposition can be varied by the STM and allows for the creation of nanostructures.
