报告摘要:
The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) has enabled us to “see” and move single atoms. STM relies on vacuum tunneling with an exponential increase of a tunneling current between two biased conductive electrodes at a factor of ten per Å (100 pm). The monotonic decrease of current allows us to scan the tip across a sample with atomic precision. In 1986, Binnig, Gerber and Quate introduced atomic force microscopy (AFM), a method that also images insulators by relying on forces. Today, AFM exceeds STM in spatial resolution by utilizing Pauli repulsion forces that change even stronger with distance than the tunneling current. That progress was enabled by qPlus sensor,1a quartz force sensor that measures force gradients by frequency changes with outstanding precision, which was initially based on tuning forks in Swatch wristwatches. Using qPlus, we can measure the forces that act in atomic manipulation, measure exchange interactions with sub-pN sensitivity, image metal clusters (see figure) and molecules with atomic resolution and single adatoms with subatomic resolution.Conductive tips allow to measure the tunneling current and the forces, including spin dependent forces3and the influence of tip-sample forces on the eigenfrequencies of molecules that are detected by inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy.4An exciting possibility of AFM with qPlus sensors is its capability to obtain subatomic resolution, i.e. the measurement of the angular dependence of chemical bonding forces shown in Fig. C. The quantum corral, introduced by Crommie, Lutz and Eigler in 1993, was revisited by AFM in 2021, showing that the 102 electrons that the corral contains can be viewed as the shell of a two-dimensional atom with similar bonding properties to AFM tips as a natural atom.6
