摘要:
The operation of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) in the near field emission regime provides a direct, noninvasive approach for investigating surfaces at nanometer scale. Here, we present a study of the current characteristics in a near field emission STM. The influence of tip’s geometry is analyzed. We show that the electron field emission from the sample is stable against tip‐shape changes due to adsorbate diffusion or atomic rearrangements.
