扫描显微探针

 随着１９８２年世界上第一台原子分辨的隧道扫描显微镜（ＳＴＭ）问世,掀起了对物质表面微结构研究的热潮,而且蔓延到表面化学以及生物大分子等领域．同时对ＳＴＭ原理及检测技术的推广,促使了原子力显微镜（ＡＦＭ）、近场光学显微镜（ＳＮＯＭ）的发明．现在,以ＳＴＭ、ＡＦＭ、ＳＮＯＭ为代表的高分辨显微镜已经形成了一类新的显微成像技术──扫描探针显微术（ＳＰＭ）．ＳＰＭ最显著的特点就是采用一个极微小的探针（针尖一般在纳米尺度）,在样品表面极小的距离内移动,同时获得样品表面信息．当这极小的探针与样品表面的相互作用强烈依赖于极小的距离（大约是指数关系）,仪器的稳定性则是获得理想图像的关键.

Generation and detection of nano ultrasound waves with a multiple strained layer structure

In this paper a multiple strained layer structure with multiple quantum wells as a piezoelectric transducer is proposed for generating and detecting nano ultrasound waves with nanometer wavelength and tera hertz frequency. By inducing femtosecond optical pulses at this strained structure, internal piezoelectric field is changed. As a result longitudinal acoustic phonon oscillations can be treated as nano acoustic waves. It could be noticed in simulated cases that detection of nano ultrasound waves can be used in non destructive testing and high accuracy measurements with this structure. It is also shown that the MQW structure design how influences in generated nano acoustic waves.     

Tip-induced distortions in STM imaging of carbon nanotubes

By means of STM measurements and fully self-consistent transport calculations we analyze how STM trajectories for the mapping of nanostructures on surfaces are affected by the atomic structure of the tip. For the particular case of carbon nanotubes we show that considerable distortions of the STM trajectory with respect to the actual structure, position and diameter of the nanotube can occur for certain tip geometries. Comparison between theory and experiment can allow to characterize and correct these distortions.     

Scanning tunneling microscope with long range lateral motion

We present our work on a recently built scanning tunneling microscope (STM), with coarse motion in two-dimensions. The tip of this STM can be translated a few millimeters in directions both parallel and perpendicular to the tip. This feature allows sampling of a larger area for experiments such as the study of how the electrical properties of charge density waves evolve between contacts, the proximity effect near a normal metal–superconducting interface, charge transport near the contact of a semiconductor interface, and for finding microscopically small samples like graphene. This STM is based on one of our previous one-dimensional designs. It utilizes orchestrated motion of six piezoelectric tubes in a slip–stick configuration in order to produce long range motion for the walker. This device is a single unit with a compact design making it very stable. It is stable enough to obtain atomic resolution on HOPG. It can operate in either a horizontal or vertical configuration and at cryogenic temperatures. It was designed entirely from non-magnetic materials for potential work in a magnetic field.     

Migration-enhanced epitaxy (MEE) growth of five-layer asymmetric coupled quantum well (FACQW) and its cross-sectional STM observation

The five-layer asymmetric coupled quantum well (FACQW) is a new potential-tailored quantum well that is promising for ultra-fast and ultra-low-voltage optical modulators and switches. FACQW samples were grown by the migration-enhanced epitaxy (MEE) and the conventional molecular beam epitaxy methods with steep and flat heterointerfaces in the monolayer accuracy. They were characterized with the cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In the cross-sectional STM image, double-stripe structures with different contrast were observed. The stripe area corresponds to the FACQW (about 10 nm wide), sandwiched with the AlGaAs barrier layers (15 nm wide). A dark line observed at the middle of the FACQW stripe area corresponds to the 3-monolayer-thick AlAs layer. The cross-sectional STM images of the high-quality heterointerface FACQW structures were successfully observed for the samples grown by the MEE method. More detailed studies of this kind of cross-sectional STM observations will be very effective to obtain the optimized growth conditions for fine and complicated ultra-thin structures.

Interpretation of initial stage of 3C-SiC growth on Si(1 0 0) using dimethylsilane

The initial stage of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) growth on a Si(0 0 1) surface using dimethylsilane (DMS) as a source gas was observed using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). It was found that the dimer vacancies initially existing on the Si(0 0 1)-(2 × 1) surface were repaired by the Si atoms in DMS molecules, during the formation of the c(4 × 4) surface. From the STM measurement, nucleation of SiC was found to start when the Si surface was covered with the c(4 × 4) structure but before the appearance of SiC spots in the RHEED pattern. The growth mechanism of SiC islands was also discussed based on the results of RHEED, STM and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD).

STM investigations of local potential barrier dist ribution of the atomic surface of graphite

To modulate the tunneling gap with the lock-in amplifier in the scanning tunneling microscopy(STM), information of the tunneling current variation can be obtained. The local potential barrier distribution of graphite surface atoms is got by means of such technology. Compared with STM image under topography observation mode, the local potential barrier image has higher resolu tion and less influence on the tip and better anti-interference capability. Obs erved results of the graphite are given and discussed in this paper.     

The role of nucleation field of media in heat-assisted magnetic probe recording

We characterize a method of heat-assisted magnetic probe recording on perpendicular media. Heating source is field emission current from a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip. Recording media are three kinds of magnetic films, Co/Pt, CoNi/Pt, and Co/Pd multilayers with different nucleation fields. Pulses with amplitude of 5 V were applied between the STM tip and the recording medium. Experiments show that magnetic marks with an average size of 180 nm were formed on both Co/Pt and CoNi/Pt films whose nucleation fields are greater than their saturation magnetization. No marks were observed on the Co/Pd film whose nucleation field is smaller than its saturation magnetization. A model is built to simulate the dynamic process of domain formation in probe-based magnetic recording system. Simulation results agree with experiments and it explains the effect of the nucleation field of medium in perpendicular recording.
