The Nanoscale • Atomic diameter ~ 0.3 nm = 3 Å • Microelectronics interconnect ~ 0.25 µm • http://www.intel.com/technology//itj/q31998/articles/art_1.htm • Red blood cell (5µm)
History • Topografiner • Tunneling through a controllable vacuum gap • Scanning Tunneling Microscope • Atomic Force Microscope (Scanning Force Microscope)
Operation of a Scanning Probe Microscope • Scanning with sub-Angstrom precision • Probe detection (e.g., current, force, position, …) • Electronicsprocessing • Computer control • Image processing • Vibration isolation • Environmental control (e.g., vacuum, atmosphere, fluid; temperature)
Scanning Tunneling Microscope Omicron
Tunneling • One-dimensional tunneling • Density of electronic statesof sample and tip = sample wavefunction = tip wavefunction = workfunction
Forces Typical: Contact vs. non-contact modes ... Forces to atto-newton (10-18 N) range ...
