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, ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

As science ventures deeper into the realm of the microscopic, probing, measuring, and even constructing at increasingly smaller scales, it must seek out a means of observing that is suitable to the desired scale and resolution. In the late 17th century, the journey into this realm began with the development of the optical microscope and the resulting observation of single cells and bacteria.[1]...
