In this article, a theory for vacuum tunneling between a real solid surface and a model probe with a locally spherical tip is presented, applicable to the recently developed "scanning tunneling microscope."Abstract:
A theory is presented for vacuum tunneling between a real solid surface and a model probe with a locally spherical tip, applicable to the recently developed "scanning tunneling microscope." Calculations for 2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}1 and 3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}1 reconstructions of Au(110) are in excellent agreement with recent experimental results, if an effective radius of curvature of 9 \AA{} is assumed for the tip.read more

Tunnelling characteristics of Stone-Wales defects in monolayers of Sn and group-V elements.
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of Stone-Wales (SW) defects in modifying the electronic properties of stanene and group-V monolayers was investigated, and it was shown that SW defects induce conduction states in the semiconducting monoline of group-v elements, which act as channels for electron tunnelling.
