Observation of metallic adhesion using the scanning tunneling microscope
Abstract
The interaction between an Ir tip and an Ir sample was investigated during normal tunneling operation of the scanning tunneling microscope. Force gradients compatible with metallic adhesion were observed within a range of 2 \AA{} before making contact. Based on the theory of metallic adhesion, a scaling relation is derived which allows the tip geometry and the characteristics of the interaction to be accounted for in a systematic manner.

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.
