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

TL;DR: Theoretical studies by a systematic Green's function approach for the tunneling conductance for two typical examples of the Si(100) surface, and the benzene (C 6 H 6 ) molecule with W tip in the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) are presented by the cluster model calculations in the linear combination of atomic orbital (LCAO) scheme with the norm-conserving pseudopotentials as mentioned in this paper.
