Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) has proved to be a ... powerful technique in the field of surface science. The fact that sets the STM apart from most other surface sensitive techniques is its ability to resolve the structure of surfaces on an atomic scale, that is atom-by-atom, and furthermore its ability to study the dynamics of surface processes. 4, record 1, English, - scanning%20tunneling%20microscopy

La [...] microscopie à effet tunnel (STM) a été inventée par G. Binning et H. Rohrer en 1981. Son principe est le même que la microscopie optique à champ proche. Une sonde métallique est approchée au plus près de la surface d'un matériau conducteur, afin de détecter les ondes électroniques évanescentes des électrons de conduction du métal. On sait que l'amplitude de ces ondes décroît exponentiellement en fonction de la distance à la surface pour un observateur placé en dehors du métal. Le courant tunnel sonde-surface est donc une fonction décroissante de la distance qui sépare la surface de l'apex de la pointe : typiquement un ordre de grandeur par 0,1 nm [nanomètre]. De plus, le courant tunnel reste très localisé au voisinage de la pointe. En balayant avec cette sonde la surface à analyser et en conservant le courant constant, le signal d'erreur de la boucle de contre-réaction permet de reconstruire une image de la surface avec une résolution latérale inférieure à 0,2 nm, et une résolution verticale inférieure à 0,05 nm. 6, record 1, French, - microscopie%20%C3%A0%20effet%20tunnel

The Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). The functional part of an STM consists of a metal tip, often tungsten, mounted on a piezoelectric tripod to allow motion in three dimensions. The tip, which is extremely sharp (ideally terminating in a single atom) is brought to within a few angstroms of a conducting sample surface. 2, record 3, English, - scanning%20tunneling%20microscope
