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 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...
