摘要
扫描隧道显微镜(STM)的日臻完善与发展,为研究分子级化学和物理性质提供了新的机遇。STM具有高空间分辨的形貌表征能力,可以探测单原子、分子水平上的电子性质和微观过程,如扩散、解吸附、断键等。此外,通过与其他技术结合,可以扩展STM的功能,增强化学分析能力。STM具有原子和纳米尺度的分析和加工能力,可用于不断发展的纳米技术等诸多研究领域。
Recent advances in low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy(STM) have provided new opportunities for investigating molecular-level chemical and physical properties. STM has been used to study the atomic-resolved geometries of surfaces and nanostructure, and their electronic and magnetic properties at a single-molecule level, in addition to the microscopic processes, such as diffusion, desorption, configuration switching, bond-breaking.Moreover, by extending the functions of STM by combining with certain other techniques, STM is an interesting approach for considerable future applications in the growing nanotechnology.
