We discuss scanning near-field optical microscope based on original double resonant montage of a fibre probe onto the tuning fork and proprietary electronics capable of fast and precise measurements of the resonant frequency and the quality factor of senso ...
We have developed an ultra-stable low temperature scanning tunneling microscope (LTSTM) for application in atomic scale spectroscopy and atom manipulation experiments. The design is based on the Besocke type microscope allowing the installation of the LTST ...
Due to the importance of scanning tunneling microscopy for atomic scale research the anomalously high corrugation values on close packed metal surfaces have been the subject of debate and extensive theoretical work in the past two decades. To date it remai ...
We report on microscopic photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation of thin Al0.3Ga0.7As/GaAs quantum wells grown on exactly oriented (001) GaAs substrates. The experiments are done at low temperature by selectively exciting a few mu m(2) of the sa ...
Undoped hydrogenated amorphous silicon layers deposited at different values of very high frequency (VHF) powers and silane to hydrogen dilution ratios possess various types of microstructures. Transport and defect measurements on layers suggest that struct ...
The shape evolution of epitaxially grown InAs/GaAs(001) quantum dots after the controlled removal of material by an in situ etching gas is investigated by atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy. The presence of {137} facets on the surface of partia ...
We show atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images of charge density waves (CDWs) at room temperature together with angle-resolved photoelectron band-mapping of 1T-TaSe2. By comparing the results of these two techniques, we demonstrate ...
Recently electrically conducting SPM probes were used as read/write sensor of magneto-resistive nanopillars and ferroelectric domains in the development of >1 Tb/inch2 data storage. Since metal coated (platinum (Pt) or Pt/iridium) silicon (Si) probes are n ...
A dual axis, raster-scanning laser display based on a monolithic micromachined scanning mirror is presented. The scanner consists of a micromirror located at the end of a thermally actuated bimorph beam. The novelty of the device is that an "L"-shape canti ...
The temperature-dependent damping of quantum-mechanical interference patterns from surface-state electrons scattering off steps on Ag(111) and Cu(111) has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy in the temperature range 3,5- ...
