Embodiment 1

[0022] Embodiment 1: A basic structure of bias current type scanning tunneling spectrometer

[0023] In this embodiment, the sample is fixed, and the relative position between the probe and the sample is adjusted by moving the probe.

[0024]Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of the structure and principle of the bias current scanning tunneling spectrometer in this embodiment: the sample 3 is fixed on the sample holder 4, the probe 1 is fixed on the probe holder 2, and the probe holder 2 is fixed on the Z position One end of the device 6, the sample holder 4 is fixed on the base 5, the other end of the Z positioner 6 is fixed on the base 5 or on another base with adjustable position so that the probe points to the sample on the sample holder , probe 1 and sample 3 form a tunnel junction J. The two poles of the current source 7 are respectively connected to the probe and the sample of the tunnel junction J through wires, and the polarity of the current source 7 can be revers...

[0031] Example 3: Bias current scanning tunneling microscope in equal-height scanning mode

[0032] This embodiment uses the bias current scanning tunneling spectrometer of the present invention for imaging in the contour scanning mode to form an implementation of the bias current scanning tunneling microscope in the contour scanning mode. FIG. 3 is a diagram of this embodiment Structural schematic diagram: replace the Z positioner 6 in embodiment 1 or embodiment 2 with an XYZ positioner 6B. All the other parts are with embodiment 1 or embodiment 2. In this way, the XY positioning of the XYZ positioner 6B can be used to make the probe scan on the sample surface. In the case of keeping the height of the probe constant, the XY scanning signal driving the XY positioner to scan plus the voltage signal output by the buffer 8 is A three-dimensional constant current and voltage image with constant current is given.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the probe 1 scans on the surface ...

Abstract

This invention relates to bias current scanning channel spectrum meter or its microscopes, which is characterized by fixing probe on Z positioning device or XYZ end and sample rack onto base socket; detecting rack and sample position can be changed; the detector fixed on rack points to sample rack; the current source connects detector and sample channel to input voltage signals to buffer to output signals; the distance between sample and detector to test V-Z spectrum by alternating current source to test high voltage images by XYZ positioning device.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of scanning tunneling microscopes, in particular to a bias current type scanning tunneling spectrometer and a scanning tunneling microscope. Background technique: [0002] According to the US "Physical Review Letters" (Physical Review Letters, 1982, No. 49, p. 57) and "Review of Scientific Instruments" (Review of Scientific Instrument, 1987, No. 58, p. 2010), the imaging principle of the scanning tunneling microscope is: Use the Z positioner to point the probe to and approach the sample surface to form a tunnel junction (probe-sample distance Z is generally less than 10 nanometers) and apply a bias voltage V between the two to generate tunnel current I, while driving with the XY positioner The probe scans relative to the sample, and then obtains the atomic arrangement image of the sample surface by measuring the change of I during the scanning process (this is the constant height mode: constant height mode)...
