A THEORY OF VACUUM TUNNELING MICROSCOPY1
نویسندگان: ثبت نشده
چکیده مقاله:
A theory for tunneling between a real surface and a model probe tip, applicable to the "scanning tunneling microscope" is presented. The tunneling current is found to be proportional to the local density of states of the surface, at the position of the tip. It can be shown that the tunneling conductance has exponential dependence on the distance of the nearest approach to the surface

Estimating Vacuum Tunneling Rates
We show that in Euclidean field theories that have bounce solutions, the bounce with the least action is the global minimum of the action in an open space of field configurations. A rigorous upper bound on the minimal bounce action can therefore be obtained by finite numerical methods. This sets a lower bound on the tunneling rate which, fortunately, is often the more interesting and useful bou...

متن کاملVacuum Tunneling by Cosmic Strings
We consider vacuum tunneling of a new kind where the false vacua are not translationally invariant, but have topological defects that break some of their translational symmetries. In the particular case where the topological defects are cosmic strings, we show the existence of an O(2)×O(2) symmetric bounce configuration that allows a semi-classical estimate of the rate of cosmic string induced ...
متن کاملTheory of Tunneling Magnetoresistance
Rigorous theory of the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) based on the real-space Kubo formula and fully realistic tight-binding bands fitted to an ab initio band structure is described. It is first applied to calculate the TMR of two Co electrodes separated by a vacuum gap. The calculated TMR ratio reaches 65% in the tunneling regime but can be as high as 280% in the metallic regime when the va...
متن کاملapplying transitivity theory to gender analysis of efl textbook: : a comparative study.
efl/esl textbooks have been regarded as essential language teaching materials with which the learners spend about 70 up to 90 percent of their class time. the important role they play and their vast use make them not only influential in learning the language but also in shaping values and attitudes. put it another way, textbooks socialize learners using their contents (i.e. texts, illustrations...
15 صفحه اولVacuum tunneling of superconducting quasiparticles from atomically sharp scanning tunneling microscope tips
We report on the study of atomically sharp superconducting tips for scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The results clearly show vacuum tunneling of superconducting quasiparticles from atomically sharp tips. Observed deviations of the energy gap of the superconducting tip from its bulk value are attributed to the proximity effect. We show that a combination of a superconducting tip ...
