Investigations in Flatland : scanning tunnelling microscopy measurements of noble metal surface states and magnetic atoms on magnesium oxide

At the atomic scale, surfaces exhibit a rich variety of physical phenomena that can be probed using a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM). The STM measures the quantum tunnelling of electrons between a metallic tip and conducting sample and can be used to characterize the nanoscale surface. This th...
