• simulated the lifting of a single PTCDA molecule from the surface using an extended force-field model that accounts for both surface corrugation and tip elasticity. Most importantly, the model also explicitly includes the finite oscillation amplitude of the qPlus tuning fork sensor. This has been achieved
