Compact-Scanning Tunneling Microscope, complete set incl. tools, sample kit and consumables, in aluminium case

 Product No: 09600-99

Function and Applications

Easy to use scanning tunneling microscope to image conducting surfaces and to investigate effects and characteritics on atomic and molecular scale. A variety of experiments in the fields of Material Sciences, Solid State Physics/Chemistry, Nanotechnology and Quantum Mechanics can be performed. For example: micro- and nano morphology of surfaces, nano structures, imaging of atoms and molecules, conductivity, tunneling effect, charge density waves, single molecule contacts, and nanostructuring by self organisation (self assembled monolayers).

Info

Since the developement of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) by Gerd Binning and Heinrich Rohrer in 1981 and the nobel prize for physics in 1986 the STM is one of the most used device in the fields of surface sciences and nano sciences.
