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 ...

A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is an electron microscope capable of taking an image of a surface at an extremely small scale up to a point of resolving individual atoms. It can be very ...

Very few of you have used a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), an essential tool to study nanoscience. And you might think that it's as easy to take a picture of an atom with an STM as it is to take ...

This is an illustration of a buckydiamondoid molecule under a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The sharp metallic tip of the STM ends in a single atom; as it scans over a sample, electrons tunnel ...
