FHI experimental set-up working in air
Problem with old set-up + modified EC-STM TERS refractive indices air: 1 glass: 1.5 water: 1.33 focus too big, no signal correction? glasses don‘t fit, no room
Parabolic-mirror approach STM tip, insulated for EC measurements sample parabolic mirror 4 mm CE RE 16 mm in: excitation laser beam out: scattered light • electrode potential control
Optical path STM head parabolic mirror glass plate beam expander spectrometer fibre out (multimode) HeNe laser fibre in (633 nm)
TERSSLi set-up Technical support: Klaus Grabitz
New STM head 500 x 500 nm2 200 x 200 nm2 Pt(111) bead crystal 2 mm diameter crystals prepared by Juan M. Feliu, Alicante, Spain
Si signal in air/water (for comparison: 10 000 cts/s with old setup)
To come … 50 x 50 nm2 25 x 25 nm2 Metal organyls: Co(II) porphyrines/toluene at Au(111) flat, well-ordered? nanocrystal? nice focus??
