Photon Scanning Tunneling Microscope.

Year: 1991

Type: article

Abstract: The authors' studies on photon scanning tunneling microscope (PSTM) are reviewed.Normal and lateral resolutions achieved by a transmission-type PSTM are estimated as high as 2-nm and 5-nm, respectively.To improve the performance of the system, several methods are proposed, e. g., a novel reflection-resonance-type PSTM is advantageous to improve the resolution.Advanced application systems are also proposed, and especially, a possibility of using the PSTM system as a single-atom-level crystal growth is discussed.
