Publisher Summary It is noted that scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is considered
relatively a young surface science technique. It exploits vacuum tunneling between a sharp …

In the earlier studies of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy the tip-sample distance was
generally assumed to be large enough to disregard the tip-surface interaction effects, and …

Scanning tunnelling microscopes operable in both ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and aqueous
conditions are described with emphasis on a tip geometry. An atomically resolved STM …

Abstract. Alter the development and use of several scanning tunneling microscopes for
different environments (air, UHV and low temperatures) we designed and built a simple …

This article describes the design of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) which is suitable
for surface science work. Various concepts in mechanical structure and electronic circuitry of …

This chapter presents a review of studies of clean metal surfaces by scanning tunneling
microscopy and spectroscopy. The operating principles of the scanning tunneling …

Scanning tunneling microscopes (STMS), which are now available in several commercial
versions, are well suited to produce topographic pictures of areas up to 100* 100 mu m 2 …

We present here the historic development of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM); the
physical and technical aspects have already been covered in a few recent reviews and two …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses that scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has
proven to be a powerful and unique tool for the determination of the structural and electronic …
