Ultra high vacuum (UHV) scanning tunneling microscope (STM)
DME - Danish Micro Engineering A/S
The possibility of investigating surfaces on an atomic
scale has been deeply wished for many years, and the
first Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) was born in
1981, developed by G. Binnig and H. Roher; a development
for which they received the Nobel Prize in 1986.
The study of atomically plane surfaces on conduct-ing
and semi-conducting samples in a controlled environment
in Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) provides the possibility
of a profound understanding of the physics in the
upper surface layers, including the interaction with the
surroundings.
