Positioning single atoms with a scanning tunnelling microscope
D. M. Eigler,E. K. Schweizer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Binnig and Rohrer used the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) to position individual xenon atoms on a single-crystal nickel surface with atomic pre-cision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confinement of electrons to quantum corrals on a metal surface.
TL;DR: Tuning spectroscopy performed inside of the corrals revealed a series of discrete resonances, providing evidence for size quantization and STM images show that the corral's interior local density of states is dominated by the eigenstate density expected for an electron trapped in a round two-dimensional box.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum mirages formed by coherent projection of electronic structure
TL;DR: The projection of the electronic structure surrounding a magnetic Co atom to a remote location on the surface of a Cu crystal is reported; electron partial waves scattered from the real Co atom are coherently refocused to form a spectral image or ‘quantum mirage’.
Journal ArticleDOI
An atomic switch realized with the scanning tunnelling microscope
TL;DR: In this paper, the operation of a bistable switch that derives its function from the motion of a single atom is reported. But the switch is a prototype of a new class of potentially very small electronic devices which we will call atom switches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging Xe with a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Xe 6s resonance, although lying close to the vacuum level, is the origin of the Fermi-level local state density which renders Xe «visible» in the STM.
