  • Abstract
    The authors propose a novel two-step etching method for fabricating a fibre probe, with good reproducibility, for a photon scanning tunnelling microscope. A fibre probe with a cladding diameter of 14 mu m and cone angle of 20 degrees was fabricated by adjusting the first-step etching time and the composition of the second-step etching solution.
