Abstract

The orientation of individual C60 molecules adsorbed on Cu(100) is reversibly switched when the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope is approached to contact the molecule. The probability of switching rises sharply upon displacing the tip beyond a threshold. A mechanical mechanism is suggested to induce the rotation of the molecule.
