Closed-loop conductance scanning tunneling spectroscopy: demonstrating the equivalence to the open-loop alternative

We demonstrate the validity of using closed-loop z(V) conductance scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements for the determination of the effective tunneling barrier by comparing them to more conventional open-loop I(z) measurements. Through the development of a numerical model, the individu...
