Justin P . Rohrer 1 / 5 RESEARCH STATEMENT

My research endeavors span the areas of disruption-tolerant networking, network measurement, and system modeling, with the common thread between those being network resilience and survivability research. This is a long-established, yet constantly evolving field, with substantial future implications as networked systems play increasingly pivotal roles both for the Navy/DoD as well as for the pub...

SCANNING TUNNELING MICROSCOPY G. BINNIG and H. ROHRER

Tunneling spectroscopy has developed into a field of intensive research since its first application to superconductors by Giaever [l] in 1961. Subsequently, it was extended to surface studies, mainly through inelastic tunneling spectroscopy [21]. In general, tunneling experiments are performed with metal-insulator-metal (or semiconductor) sandwich structures with a solidstate insulator. This cl...
