For maximum resolution in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), an extremely sharp metallic tip is required, which serves as the point through which the STM “scans” a sample. A blunt tip reduces STM ...

Opinions are cheap — everybody’s got one and it doesn’t cost anything to broadcast it on social media. However, weighted ...

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is an experimental technique based on the principles of quantum tunneling of electrons between two electrodes separated by a potential barrier, typically used for ...
