What are the benefits of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)?
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) utilizes the quantum tunneling phenomenon to image surfaces at the atomic level. By scanning a sharp tip close to the surface, STM can measure the tunneling current, which is highly sensitive to the tip-sample distance. This technique can provide atomic-scale resolution images and is widely used to study surface structures, electronic properties, and chemical reactions on nanomaterials.
