Theory and observation of highly asymmetric atomic structure in scanning-tunneling-microscopy images of graphite
Abstract
Images of the (0001) surface of graphite observed in the scanning-tunneling microscope (STM) show a strong asymmetry in the tunneling current between neighboring carbon atoms in the hexagonal ring. The magnitude of this asymmetry is seen to be almost independent of the polarity and to decrease slightly with increasing amplitude of the bais voltage for voltages below 1 V. A theory is developed that explains this anomaly as a purely electronic effect, arising from the symmetry of the states scanned by the STM, which dominates over the topography of graphite. The predicted trends for the bias-voltage dependence of the asymmetry are confirmed experimentally.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
