Scanning tunneling microscopy
Abstract
Presented here is an overview of the present status and future prospects of scanning tunneling microscopy. Topics covered include the physical basis of the scanning tunneling microscope, its instrumentation aspects, and its use for structural and spectroscopic imaging—on a scale which extends to atomic dimensions. Associated experimental and theoretical studies are reviewed, including several which suggest potential applicability of this new type of microscope to a relatively broad range of biological, chemical, and technological areas.

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.
