Juan Carlos Cuevas at the Autonomous University of Madrid in Spain and his colleagues modified a
scanning tunnelling microscope — which allows the manipulation and
imaging of atoms — to trap a ring of benzene between the probing tip of the microscope and a flat gold surface.
The researchers verified the structure of the nitrogenated crystal by atomic - resolution
scanning tunnelling microscopy
imaging and confirmed its semiconducting nature by testing it with a field effect transistor.
The catalytic action of individual Ni atoms at the edges of a growing graphene flake was directly captured by
scanning tunneling microscopy
imaging at the millisecond time scale, while force field molecular dynamics and density functional theory calculations rationalize the experimental observations.
Imaging spectroscopy provides information about the local environment of the atoms, similar to the incredible resolution offered by
scanning tunneling microscopy.
Scanning tunneling microscope (STM)
imaging was used to characterize the nanoscale arrangement of the supramolecular lattices formed on graphite and graphene surfaces, which determines the periodicity and geometry of the induced potentials.
They proposed a new way to study a cuprate, one that no other group had tried: a powerful
imaging technique developed by Davis, called sublattice
imaging - which is performed using a specialized
scanning tunneling microscope (STM) capable of determining the electronic structure in different subsets of the atoms in the crystal, the so - called sublattices.
A University of Texas at Dallas graduate student, his advisor and industry collaborators believe they have addressed a long - standing problem troubling scientists and engineers for more than 35 years: How to prevent the tip of a
scanning tunneling microscope from crashing into the surface of a material during
imaging or lithography.
In the study published this week in the journal Science, the research team described how they enhanced an existing
imaging technique, called
scanning tunneling microscopy, to capture signals from the Majorana particle at both ends of an atomically thin iron wire stretched on the surface of a crystal of lead.
Eigler's breakthrough was made possible thanks to the invention of the
scanning tunneling microscope (STM) by Gerd Binning and Heinrich Rohrer in 1981, a device that made possible the
imaging of atoms by measuring changes in the way electrons hop between a sharp probe and a specimen, as the probe shifts position.
The technique has since proved an invaluable
imaging tool that brings the spatial resolution of
scanning tunnelling microscopy - its close fore - runner - to investigations of insulating surfaces.
