A New Variable Temperature Solution-Solid Interface Scanning Tunneling Microscope
(2014)Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been widely used to investigate surface structures and electronic properties of adsorbed species on surfaces and also for observing chemical reactions on surfaces. The technique can ... -
Charge transfer induced chemical reaction of tetracyano- p-quinodimethane adsorbed on graphene
(2012)Raman spectroscopy was used to study the interaction of 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) deposited on graphene films grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Different thickness layers (1 ML to 7 ML) of TCNQ ... -
Interaction of wide band gap single crystals with 248 nm excimer laser radiation. IV. Positive ion emission from MgO and NaNO3
(1996)We report quadrupole mass-selected, time-of-flight measurements of Mg1 from polished, single crystal MgO and Na1 from cleaved, single crystal NaNO3 exposed to 248 nm ~5 eV!laser radiation. A large fraction of the ions emitted ... -
The Use of Scanning Conduction Microscopy to Probe Abrasion of Insulating Films
(1995)The scanning force microscope (SFM) is a useful tool for examining the consequences of tribological wear, particularly on inherently flat surfaces such as single crystals. How- ever, on moderately rough surfaces, changes ... -
Gold Coated Tungsten Tips for Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
(1993)Electrochemically etched tungsten scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tips are dc sputter coated with 20 nm of gold (0.04 rim/s and 10 mTorr of argon). Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of typical etched tips ... -
A Scanning Tunneling Microscope with a Wide Sampling Range
(1990)Construction of a simple scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is described. This STM is suitable for atmospheric, controlled atmosphere, and high vacuum (but not UHV) work. This STM is especially wen suited for determining ... -
Constant Resolution Tunneling Spectroscopy
(1988)An inelastic electron tunneling spectrometer is described which is capable of providing constantresolution spectra over the 0 to greater than 16 OOO-cm --I range. Constant-resolution data acquisition is especially beneficial ... -
An All Digital Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectrometer Utilizing the IEEE-488 Instrument Bus and an IBM PC-XT Controller
(1987)An easily assembled computer‐controlled tunneling spectrometer is described. Spectral acquisition time is user selectable over a wide range. Low‐resolution spectra may be taken rapidly (about 30s/scan) or very slow scans ... -
The Construction and Application of a Novel Glove-Box Deposition System to the Study of Air-Sensitive Materials by Tunneling Spectroscopy
(1984)The construction and application of a high-vacuum deposition system housed in a recirculating, catalytically scrubbed, inert-atmosphere glove box is reported. This system is specifically applied to the fabrication of tunnel ... -
Magnetically Induced Circular Polarization of Emission: Application to Inorganic Complexes
(1978)A sensitive spectrometer for the measurement of circular polarization of emission, utilizing a photoelastic modulator, is presented. This spectrometer, when augmented by a superconducting magnet and dewar assembly, provides ... -
Phonon Scattering Times in a Molecular Crystal Below 10K Determined by Optically Detected Acoustic Paramagnetic Resonance
(1978)A combination of optically detected magnetic and acoustical paramagnetic resonance has been used to determine the phonon scattering time of microwave-frequency phonons in a molecular crystal in the 2- to 7-K temperature ... -
Magnetically Induced Circular Polarization of Emission: Application to Inorganic Complexes
(1977)A sensitive spectrometer for the measurement of circular polarization of emission, utilizing a photoelastic modulator, is presented. This spectrometer, when augmented by a superconducting magnet and dewar assembly, provides ... -
Some Aspects of Electron-Phonon Interaction in the Thermal Modulation Spectra of Molecular Crystals
(1976)The details of the temperature dependent intensity and linewidth of zero· phonon bands in molecular crystal absorption and emission spectra are considered in relation to the line shape functions observed in thermal modulation ...
