  • Abstract
    This paper describes the design of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) control system and the addition of a high current, high frequency scanning tunneling potentiometry (STP) stage. This combination of STM and STP allows for the extraction of topographic and also potentiometric information in two dimensions on a sub-micron scale
