Abstract In a previous STM investigation by Yang and co-workers a variety of 2D ordered atomic-scale features of glycine molecules adsorbed on graphite were observed and several models have been proposed to interpret these features. In the present work, atomic charge superposition(ACS) calculations of STM images of their models were carried out. The calculated images match the experimental ones fairly well, indicating the general validity of the ACS method to the glycine/graphite system and the correctness of their interpretations. The reason of the validity, the origin of the atomic resolution, and the proper tip-sample distance are also discussed.
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
