Using a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope, atom manipulations were performed on Cu(111) surface. We succeeded in manipulating single Cu atoms which were deposited on the Cu substrate at low temperature, and arranging them in an intended pattern. Besides the brightly contrasted Cu adatom, we also successfully moved single dark spots, presumably an adsorbed molecule of carbon monoxide, by using the same manipulation technique.
