Design and Construction of a Low Temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscope

A low temperature scanning tunneling microscope (LTSTM) was built that we could use in an ultra high vacuum (UHV) system. The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was tested on an existing 3He cryostat and calibrated at room, liquid nitrogen and helium temperatures. We analyzed the operational electr...
