We have demonstrated a field-induced, charge-transfer reaction driven
by the electric field at the STM tip when the field generated by the S
TM exceeds the switching threshold of CuTCNQ charge transfer complex.
We discuss the mechanism of this nanoscopic phenomenon in comparison w
ith macroscopic observations.
