Study showcases a new technique for quick scanning tunneling spectroscopy in atomic resolution imaging, suggesting improved data acquisition methods.
A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) combines unique capabilities in imaging and spectroscopy with atomic precision, and it can obtain energy-resolved spectroscopic data with atomic resolution. In this paper, we utilize a recently proposed modification to the STM feedback control loop to acquire high quality d2I/dV2 images. We have developed a constant differential conductance imaging method by closing the STM feedback loop with a high precision dI/dV measurement. In this mode, the tip’s vertical position is adjusted so as to keep the differential conductance constant during raster scanning of the surface. Based on this imaging mode, we propose a new technique to acquire fast and reliable scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) data simultaneously with the imaging.
