Sentences with phrase «resolution scanning tunneling microscopy»

The team saw the oxygen atoms flow out of the cerium oxide clusters and slowly spread farther and farther away by combining high - resolution scanning tunneling microscopy with a conventional surface - sensitive technique, called Auger spectroscopy.

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.

They can be imaged using a high - resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy, or more precisely, the height of the corresponding step edges.

Not exact matches

The recent study, which was produced primarily through a research partnership between the University of Arkansas, Missouri State University and the University of Antwerp in Belgium, consisted of high - resolution transmission electron microscopy combined with scanning tunneling microscopy and state - of - the - art computational molecular dynamics.

Imaging spectroscopy provides information about the local environment of the atoms, similar to the incredible resolution offered by scanning tunneling microscopy.

«The size and nature of the calculations we had to do probably were not feasible until maybe four or five years ago, and the spatial and temporal resolution of scanning tunneling microscopy was not there,» Mavrikakis says.

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.
