(-)-TADDOL and coumarin molecules self-assemble to form crystalline organic films for ultrahigh-density data storage. A 3„1¤74 matrix pattern (see Figure) was recorded between a scanning tunneling microscope tip and the film on a highly ordered pyrolytic graphite substrate. By regulation of the amplitude and width of the applied pulsed voltage a data storage density of about 1013 bits cm-2 can be achieved.
