Quantitative scanning tunneling microscopy at atomic resolution: Influence of forces and tip configuration

ARH Clarke, JB Pethica, JA Nieminen, F Besenbacher… - Physical review …, 1996 - APS
Atom resolved scanning tunneling microscopy images are known to depend on the nature of
the tip and its interaction with the surface. We present a new method for determining barrier …

Surface relaxations, current enhancements, and absolute distances in high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy

WA Hofer, AJ Fisher, RA Wolkow, P Grütter - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS
We have performed the most realistic simulation to date of the operation of a scanning
tunneling microscope. Probe-sample distances from beyond tunneling to actual surface …

Origin of atomic resolution on metal surfaces in scanning tunneling microscopy

CJ Chen - Physical review letters, 1990 - APS
Scanning tunneling microscopy has repeatedly resolved individual atoms on a number of
metal surfaces with atomic distances 2.5–3 Å. This is in sharp contradiction to the resolution …

Microscopic view of scanning tunneling microscopy

CJ Chen - Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A: Vacuum …, 1991 - pubs.aip.org
We present a theory of the atomic resolution in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in
terms of localized surface states on the tip. The tunneling matrix elements arising from these …

Theory of the scanning tunneling microscope

J Tersoff, DR Hamann - Physical Review B, 1985 - APS
We present a theory for tunneling between a real surface and a model probe tip, applicable
to the recently developed ''scanning tunneling microscope.''The tunneling current is found to …

Influence of band structure on the apparent barrier height in scanning tunneling microscopy

M Becker, R Berndt - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2010 - APS
The apparent height of the tunneling barrier in scanning tunneling microscopy measured on
Au (111), Ag (111), and Cu (111) surfaces is found to vary significantly with the bias voltage …

Scanning tunnelling microscopy

LEC Van de Leemput… - Reports on Progress in …, 1992 - iopscience.iop.org
A scanning tunnelling microscope can image surfaces down to the atomic scale. Its very
high resolution is caused by its local probing mechanism: a tunnel current which flows …

Scanning tunneling microscopy. II. Calculation of images of atomic and molecular adsorbates

F Biscarini, C Bustamante, VM Kenkre - Physical Review B, 1995 - APS
A theory of the scanning-tunneling-microscopy (STM) current of adsorbates with focus on
effects of coherence in electron motion in the STM junction has been developed in the …

Stability, resolution, and tip–tip imaging by a dual-probe scanning tunneling microscope

H Grube, BC Harrison, J Jia, JJ Boland - Review of scientific …, 2001 - pubs.aip.org
A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) comprised of two mechanically and electrically
independent probes is described. This dual-probe STM is capable of atomic resolution …
