Spectroscopic signature of the Stark-shifted Tamm-type surface state of La(0001)
We have studied the Tamm-type surface state of La(0001) by tunneling spectroscopy within a wide range of tunneling currents from 0.1 nA to 8000 nA, thereby tuning the electric-field strength in a tip-vacuum-sample tunnel junction.

Use of PtC Nanotips for Low-Voltage Quantum Tunneling Applications
The use of focused ion and focused electron beam (FIB/FEB) technology permits the fabrication of micro- and nanometer scale geometries. Therefore, FIB/FEB technology is a favorable technique for preparing TEM lamellae, nanocontacts, or nanowires and ...

Graphene nanoribbons with zigzag and armchair edges prepared by scanning tunneling microscope lithography on gold substrates [PDF]
The properties of graphene nanoribbons are dependent on both the nanoribbon width and the crystallographic orientation of the edges. Scanning tunneling microscope lithography is a method which is able to create graphene nanoribbons with well defined edge

Waveform-sequencing for scanning tunneling microscopy based pump-probe spectroscopy and pulsed-ESR
We present here the straightforward implementation of pump-probe methods into existing scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) systems. Our method uses the waveform-sequencing abilities of a standard arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) and a simple mechanical

The Nature of CVC Nonlinearity in Low-Voltage Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy of Semiconductors [PDF]
A new model of field emission in a scanning tunnelling microscope was developed. The model describes the tunnelling current from a surface of semiconductor (semimetal) and allows estimating the preexponential factor in the expression for the tunneling ...

Zero-bias anomaly in one-dimensional ultrathin metallic nanowires
The electronic properties of ultrathin bimetallic Au/Ag nanowires with 2-3 nm in diameter were explored by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) at liquid-nitrogen temperature.

Sub-monolayer film growth of a volatile lanthanide complex on metallic surfaces
We deposited a volatile lanthanide complex, tris(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)terbium(III), onto metal surfaces of Cu(111), Ag(111) and Au(111) in vacuum and observed well-ordered sub-monolayer films with low temperature (5 K) scanning ...
