Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of scanning tunneling microscopes, in particular to a scanning tunneling microscope structure using a motor-scanning head separation technology. Background technique
[0002] Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) is an important instrument that uses quantum tunneling effect to observe the surface morphology of samples. Because of its ultra-high real-space resolution ability, it is widely used in material property characterization, electrochemical measurement, biological imaging, etc. science field. Since the STM needs to collect extremely weak current signals during operation, the penetration of any tiny sound or vibration will have a serious impact on the stability of the tunnel junction. The scanning head and the stepping motor of the widely used STM are directly connected, and the interference on the motor (such as thermal drift, electric fluctuation, etc.) will be transmitted to the tunnel current, thereb...
