Surface Studies by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

  • Chapter
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

Part of the book series: Perspectives in Condensed Matter Physics ((PCMP,volume 6))

Abstract

Surface microscopy using vacuum tunneling is demonstrated for the first time. Topographic pictures of surfaces on an atomic scale have been obtained. Examples of resolved monoatomic steps and surface reconstructions are shown for (110) surfaces of CaIrSn 4 and Au.
