  2. Scanning tunneling microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling_microscope

    Most scanning tunneling microscopes are built for use in ultra-high vacuum at temperatures approaching absolute zero, but variants exist for studies in air, water and other environments, and for temperatures over 1000 °C. [5] [6] Scanning tunneling microscope operating principle. STM is based on the concept of quantum tunneling.

  3. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling...

    Mechanism of how density of states influence V-A spectra of tunnel junction. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy is an experimental technique which uses a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to probe the local density of electronic states (LDOS) and the band gap of surfaces and materials on surfaces at the atomic scale. [1]

  4. A Boy and His Atom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_and_His_Atom

    A Boy and His Atom is a 2013 stop-motion animated short film released on YouTube by IBM Research.One minute in length, it was made by moving carbon monoxide molecules with a scanning tunneling microscope, a device that magnifies them 100 million times.

  5. Spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-polarized_scanning...

    The spin polarized scanning tunneling microscope is a versatile instrument which has gained tremendous attention due to its enhanced surface sensitivity and lateral resolution up to atomic scale, and can be used as an important tool to study ferromagnetic materials, such as dysprosium (Dy), quasi-2D thin films, nano islands and quasi-1D ...

  6. Nanosurf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanosurf

    Nanosurf invented the first scanning tunneling microscope (STM) with the compact size and stability to image individual atoms on a coffee table.In its early days, Nanosurf became known for educational AFMs, and over the course of the following decades moved more and more towards providing high-end instruments for research.

  7. Ballistic electron emission microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_electron...

    Ballistic electron emission microscopy or BEEM is a technique for studying ballistic electron transport through a variety of materials and material interfaces. BEEM is a three terminal scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) technique that was invented in 1988 at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California by L. Douglas Bell, Michael H. Hecht, and William J. Kaiser.

  8. Nanotribology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotribology

    [1] [2] [3] Microscopy techniques, including Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), Atomic-Force Microscope (AFM) and Surface Forces Apparatus, (SFA) have been used to analyze surfaces with extremely high resolution, while indirect methods such as computational methods [4] and Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) have also been extensively employed ...

  9. Quantum microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_microscopy

    Quantum microscopy allows microscopic properties of matter and quantum particles to be measured and imaged. Various types of microscopy use quantum principles. The first microscope to do so was the scanning tunneling microscope, which paved the way for development of the photoionization microscope and the quantum entanglement microscope.
