Scanning tunneling microscopy—from birth to adolescence

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy - from Birth to Adolescence

We present here the historic development of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy; the physical and technical aspects have already been covered in a few recent reviews and two conference proceedings [l] and many others are expected to follow in the near future. A technical summary is given by the sequence of figures which stands alone. Our narrative is by no means a recommendation of how research shoul...

Scanning 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 ...
