→ good foratomic resolution
not perfect for atomic resolution
cutting with e.g. scissors→ no universal recipe !

Tip Preparation• cutting• cleaning
– heating, oscillation(may produce blutness or lead to melting)
– voltage pulses– continuous scanning
• e.g. increasing voltage while scanning withAu tip → 25 Å elongation→ higher resolution
• sputtering• however: good results also without
cleaning !

Chemical Composition of STM Tip Surface (1)
resolution depends on polarity→ due to adsorbed impurity atom

Na

STM Tip Composition• theoretically better resolution for
d – elements→ more localized electrons (e.g. Na ↔ W)
• however Au (s – band) also high resolution→ identity of tip atom not known
• noble metals less susceptible to contaminationse.g. W→ always layer of oxide +
other contaminations→ but high activation energy for surface
diffusion (1,8 eV)

Scan Parameters• X – frequency: 0,1 – 122 Hz (NanoScope, DI)• Y – frequency according to number of lines per
image– 128 x 128 data points per image– 256 x 256 data points per image– 512 x 512 data points per image
• ⇒ 1 second to 1,5 hours for 1 imagetypically 30 seconds to 1 minute
• scan angle, size, frequency, ...can be varied
10
Feedback System• bias voltages: some 10 mV (up to several
volts)• tunneling current: some nA• modes of operation
– constant height mode→ small areas→ high scan rates possible⇒ elimination of thermal drifts, high resolution
imaging– constant current mode→ low scan rates→ wide area scans→ lower risk for tip – crashes

Vibration Problem
• typical vibrations of buildings: ν < 20 Hz• damping factor = (ν/ν0)2 for ν << ν0
• ⇒ amplitude of tip < 0,01 Å• ⇒ forces from 10-7 – 10-11 N can be
detected
• high frequency vibrations and noisemust be eliminated !
