Highly Strained Nanoscale Bicyclophane Monolayers Entering the Third Dimension: A Combined Synthetic and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Investigation

Scanning tunneling microscopy investigation of the TiO2 anatase „101... surface

We report the first scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! study of single-crystalline anatase. Atomically resolved images of the ~101! surface are consistent with a bulk-truncated (131) termination. Step edges run predominantly in the @010#, @ 1̄11# , and @ 1̄ 1̄1# directions. The surface is stable with very few point defects. Fourfold-coordinated Ti atoms at step edges are preferred adsorption site...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

The invention of the scanning tunneling microscope was a singularity event in the field of surface science and condensed matter physics. The ability to visualize individual atoms in an atomic structure was a huge step forward in experimental development, one for which the inventors were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986. While a groundbreaking development, the Scanning Tunneling Micros...

Scanning tunneling microscopy

This paper begins with a brief introduction the development of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM); in the second part, we will present some basic theory about STM, we will pay more attention on the theory for tunneling between the surfaces of the sample with the model probe tip. Next, we introduce the STM facility, include different modes of operation and other influence factors. In addition, ...
