Title |
Electron tunneling detected by electrostatic force |
Date |
2000 |
Description |
A method is introduced for measuring the tunneling of electrons between a specially fabricated scanning probe microscope tip and a surface. The technique is based upon electrostatic force detection of charge as it is transferred to and from a small (10217 F) electrically isolated metallic dot on the scanning probe tip. The methods for dot fabrication, charging, and discharging are described and electron tunneling to a sample surface is demonstrated. |
