Ordered Array Formation and Negative Differential Resistance Behavior of Cation-Exchanged Heteropoly Acids Probed by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

Band Alignment in MoS2/WS2 Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Heterostructures Probed by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy.

Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), we examine the electronic structure of transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures (TMDCHs) composed of monolayers of MoS2 and WS2. STS data are obtained for heterostructures of varying stacking configuration as well as the individual monolayers. Analysis of the tunneling spectra includes the influence of ...

Resistive Switching Mechanisms on TaOx and SrRuO3 Thin-Film Surfaces Probed by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy.

The local electronic properties of tantalum oxide (TaOx, 2 ≤ x ≤ 2.5) and strontium ruthenate (SrRuO3) thin-film surfaces were studied under the influence of electric fields induced by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip. The switching between different redox states in both oxides is achieved without the need for physical electrical contact by controlling the magnitude and polarity of the...

Bias asymmetry in the conductance profile of magnetic ions on surfaces probed by scanning tunneling microscopy

The conductance profiles of magnetic transition-metal atoms, such as Fe, Co, and Mn, deposited on surfaces and probed by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), provide detailed information on the magnetic excitations of such nanomagnets. In general, the profiles are symmetric with respect to the applied bias. However, a set of recent experiments has shown evidence for inherent asymmetries when ...
