Electrons in a Cage I

Caption

The straight, almost horizontal line across the middle of the image shows a 1D wire, formed at the interface of two islands of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). The wire is about 70 atoms long. The image or topograph was recorded with a scanning tunneling microscope at -268°C. (b) A scanning tunneling spectroscopy map of the same area shows a standing wave in the 1D wire.
