Journal ArticleDOI
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy of high-temperature superconductors
TL;DR: The use of tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy has played a central role in the experimental verification of the microscopic theory of superconductivity in classical superconductors as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron emission theory and its application: Fowler–Nordheim equation and beyond
TL;DR: In this paper, the Fowler-Nordheim (FN) equation for field emission is examined using pedagogical models to introduce and illuminate its origins, limitations, extensions, and application to multidimensional structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physics of the near-field
TL;DR: In this paper, the main physical properties of the near-field are revisited and the physics hidden inside the inverse decay length parameter η associated with all nearfield concepts are analyzed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical modelling of scanning tunnelling microscopy, scanning tunnelling spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy
TL;DR: A review of the development of theoretical models of the atomic force microscope (AFM) and scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) can be found in this article, with emphasis on the explanations of atomic resolution that they provide.
Journal ArticleDOI
First-principles theory of scanning tunneling microscopy
TL;DR: In this article, the first-principles simulation method based on the microscopic electronic state of both the sample surface and the tip is introduced, and several examples of the simulation such as graphite and Si surfaces, are described.
