Abstract
A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) has been used to create nanostru ctures on nickel thin films. A systematic procedure for the creation o f such structures has been developed. Various possible mechanisms invo lved in such creations have been discussed. Based on our observations, a field-induced suction of the plastically deformed surface has been proposed.
