We investigate the possibility of storing data using H and F on a polymer to signify 0 and 1 bits. A probe is used to differentiate between the H and F atoms. We show that the difference between the B - F and B - H interaction energies for either the or probes is only slightly larger than the variation in B - F interaction energy with type of neighbouring data atom. Pyridine and have a much larger difference in the H and F interaction energies. may be better suited as a surface probe, because the interaction with neighbouring data sites should be smaller.
