Study of metal surfaces by scanning tunneling microscopy with field ion microscopy

Open publisher page 42 citations

Abstract

The reconstruction of Au and Ni surfaces has been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The correlation between the tunneling tip geometry, observed by field ion microscopy, and the resultant STM image leads to an operational definition of STM resolution. New structural models for Ni(110)–H and Ni(110)–Au surfaces are proposed.
