Research Abstract	For developments of a molecular device, position-controlling technique of its functional molecules is necessary. In this research, we have found that, by controlling bias voltage of STM probe, gathering/diffusing Copper-Phthalocyanine (CuPc) molecules adsorbed on the Bi surface is manipulated at any point on the surface. In order to investigate the working mechanism, the molecular-orbital calculation has been performed based on the DFT method. By extending the calculation to similar magnetic molecules, a highly electric-conductive molecular device utilizing Kondo resonance state is proposed.
