Overview of the main types of Scannig Probe Microscope types: Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) – using the tunneling current I between the outermost atom of a conducting probe within an atomic ...

Scientists use scanning tunneling microscopy to understand how a material's electronic or magnetic properties relate to its structure on the atomic scale. When using this technique, however, they can ...

Scanning tunneling microscopes capture images of materials with atomic precision and can be used to manipulate individual molecules or atoms. Researchers have been using the instruments for many years ...

There are several different types of scanning probe microscopes, the most prominent of which are atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). There are also many other types, ...

(Nanowerk News) Semiconductors are foundational components of modern energy, communication, and myriad other technologies. Research on tailoring the underlying nanostructure of semiconductors for ...

The development of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) in high magnetic fields has opened new avenues in nanoscale imaging and spectroscopy. By utilising quantum tunnelling in precisely engineered ...

Chemistry live: using a scanning tunneling microscope, researchers were able for the very first time to witness in detail the activity of catalysts during an electrochemical reaction. The measurements ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy STM: are instruments for imaging surfaces at the atomic level. STM is a non-optical microscope that works by scanning an electrical probe tip over the surface of a sample ...

We don’t usually think of a microscope as an active instrument, but researchers in Canada have used a scanning tunneling microscope to remove or replace single hydrogen atoms from the surface of a ...

Scientists use scanning tunneling microscopy to understand how a material's electronic or magnetic properties relate to its structure on the atomic scale. When using this technique, however, they can ...

A new technical paper titled “Externally-triggerable optical pump-probe scanning tunneling microscopy with a time resolution of tens-picosecond” was published by researchers at University of Tsukuba ...
