applications The Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) • introduced by G. Binnig and W. Rohrer at the IBM Research Laboratory in 1982. • They was honored by theNoble Prize in 1986. The basic idea • Electron tunneling current is depend on the barrier width and decay length. • STM measure the tunneling current to know the materials depth and surface profiles.
Modes of Operation • Constant Current Mode • Tips are vertically adjusted along the constant current • Constant Height Mode • Fix the vertical position of the tip • Barrier Height Imaging • Inhomogeneous compound • Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy • Extension of STM this mode measured the density of electrons in a sample
