Compounds of the formula A{sub x}Mo{sub z}O{sub y}, known as molybdenum bronzes, display interesting quasi-low-dimensional electronic properties such as anisotropic conduction, superconductivity, and charge-density waves (CDW). This paper describes scanning tunneling microscopy studies performed on Na{sub 0.9}Mo{sub 6}O{sub 17}, a purple bronze, and Rb{sub 0.3}MoO{sub 3}, a blue bronze, demonstrating that they can be imaged in air with near atomic resolution. Surface defects can be created on these bronzes exhibiting varied in-air stabilities. The interpretation of images is discussed with reference to the structures, CDWS, defect creation techniques, and relative defect stabilities.
