Probing the History of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
We present a brief history of the development of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). These microscopes, developed in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer (Nobel prize 1986), are capable of imaging and manipulating at an atomic level. STMs, and the group of instruments corporately referred to as scanning probe microscopes that evolved from them, are part of the instrumentation that has enabl...
متن کاملScanning tunneling microscopy applied to optical surfaces.
The technique of scanning tunneling microscopy has been applied to topographic mapping of two optical surfaces: a ruled grating replica and a diamond-turned gold mirror. We have demonstrated the ability of the scanning tunneling microscope to measure surface topography of a ruled-grating replica over an area of 2 microm x 2 microm. Furthermore, surface structure on a diamond-turned gold mirror ...
متن کاملIn-situ scanning tunneling microscopy of the semiconductor-electrolyte interface
The great reactivity o f semiconductor surfaces and the easy formation o f oxide layers make in-situ STM imaging o f tlie semiconductors/electrolyte interface difficult at a high resolution. Additionally, STM imaging o f such interfaces requires some care as far tunneling conditions are concerned. The paper analyses this question with the system SiINaOH to illustrate the latest advances concern...
متن کاملScanning tunneling microscopy of defect states in the semiconductor Bi2Se3
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy images of Bi2Se3 doped with excess Bi reveal electronic defect states with a striking shape resembling clover leaves. With a simple tight-binding model, we show that the geometry of the defect states in Bi2Se3 can be directly related to the position of the originating impurities. Only the Bi defects at the Se sites five atomic layers below the surface are experim...
متن کاملProbing potential-tuned resonant tunneling through redox molecules with scanning tunneling microscopy.
We have studied electron transfer through redox molecules adsorbed on a conductive substrate with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in aqueous solution. By adjusting the substrate potential, the Fermi levels of the substrate and tip can be easily shifted relative to the energy levels of the molecules. Aligning the Fermi levels to an energy level, a nearly tenfold increase in the tunneling cur...
