A research team led by Professor Hyung-Joon Shin from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST has ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy is a subset of Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), a group of techniques that image and manipulate surfaces at the nanometer to atomic scales. SPM techniques share the ...

Abstract Proton tunneling through a hydrogen bond is a significant quantum phenomenon in proton-mediated processes. Hydrogen ...

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 ...

As the probe scans across the surface, it detects variations in physical properties such as force, capacitance, or tunneling current ... techniques with other microscopy and spectroscopy methods, the ...

Upping the ante even further is the self-assembling version out of DNA. For this scanning tunneling microscope-sized version of the outline of the blaster, [Mark] went to the Salk Institute for ...

Nanosurf took it a step further in 1997, bringing single atoms into the classroom! The NaioSTM is a scanning tunneling microscope that combines the scan head and controller into a single instrument ...

This is an illustration of a buckydiamondoid molecule under a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The sharp metallic tip of the STM ends in a single atom; as it scans over a sample, electrons ...
