偏压在隧道效应中的作用

从隧道扫描势垒模型出发。用量子力学导出隧道电流与针尖间的偏压、间距及它们的逸出功之间的关系,并从能带模型的角度导出样品与针尖的间距不变时,隧道电流与偏压成正比关系．指出偏压的作用主要是提高针尖上电子的能量,使针尖上的电子比样品上的电子更容易穿过势垒,从而形成隧道电流．

简单紧凑高刚性扫描隧道显微镜的研制

本文展示了一台自主研制的扫描隧道显微镜,它的主要特色是利用了一个内壁抛光的蓝宝石导向管作为扫描头的导轨,从而形成了较短的探针到样品的机械回路. 该导向管里面是一个被弹簧片夹持的方形滑杆,而压电扫描头安装在该滑杆上使得扫描隧道显微镜本身结构比较简单、紧凑、刚性. 同时蓝宝石良好的热导率又有利于提高显微镜的热稳定性. 为了证明该扫描隧道显微镜的性能,本文给出了高质量的石墨原子分辨率图像.

Influence of Interorbital Interference on Tunneling Process in STM

We present a theoretical study of the influence of intra-atomic interorbital interference on the formation of STM images of metal surfaces. The obtained results show that this kind of interference may modify significantly the tunneling current by the increase or decrease of the current contributions flowing through different orbitals of the surface atoms. STM simulations performed for aluminium and nickel surfaces indicate that the height of corrugation and the topographies of STM images of different surfaces depend considerably on this interference.     

纳腔等离激元对分子上和分子旁边的隧穿电子诱导发光的作用研究

本文使用含时量子主方程,从理论上计算了当分子或者等离激元分别被激发的情形下等离激元-分子耦合体系发光特性的时间和光谱演化,并在此基础上讨论了纳腔等离激元在扫描隧道显微镜（STM）诱导发光中发挥的不同作用.当STM针尖在分子上方,隧穿电子可以直接激发分子时,纳腔等离激元的主要作用是通过提高分子的辐射速率来增强其发光,此时耦合体系表现出具有分子特征的尖锐发光峰.另一方面,当STM针尖非常靠近分子边缘但没有载流子注入直接激发分子时,等离激元-分子之间的相干耦合会在这两个量子客体之间产生相消干涉,导致在分子激子能量附近出现法诺共振,使我们观察到具有法诺凹谷特征的等离激元发光光谱.     

利用扫描隧道显微镜表征和操纵单分子

扫描隧道显微镜（STM）提供给我们一种表征单分子的局域物理和化学特性的特殊方法，甚至还能帮助我们操纵单分子以构造分子尺度的新型器件。本文中我们采用了两种新型STM技术分别来表征封装在富勒烯笼里面的金属原子和构造一种具有较强Kondo效应的分子器件。空间dI/dV映像谱被用来探索单个Dy@C82分子中能量分辨的金属-笼杂化态，揭示了有关Dy原子在碳笼中的空间位置和Dy-碳笼之间相互作用的重要信息。我们也通过控制STM针尖诱导的高电压脉冲来诱导CoPc分子的边缘脱氢化，从而改变了这个分子在Au(111)表面的吸附构型，导致吸附在Au表面的完整CoPc分子所不具备的Kondo效应产生。     

表面羟基辅助甲醛分子在金红石型TiO2(110)表面迁移动力学研究

As the photo-dissociation product of methanol on the TiO₂(110) surface,the diffusion and desorption processes of formaldehyde (HCHO) were investigated by using scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and density functional theory (DFT).The molecular-level images revealed the HCHO molecules could diffuse and desorb on the surface at 80 K under UV laser irradiation.The diffusion was found to be mediated by hydrogen adatoms nearby,which were produced from photodissociation of methanol.Diffusion of HCHO was significantly decreased when there was only one H adatom near the HCHO molecule.Furthermore,single HCHO molecule adsorbed on the bare TiO₂(110) surface was quite stable,little photo-desorption was observed during laser irradiation.The mechanism of hydroxyl groups assisted diffusion of formaldehyde was also investigated using theoretical calculations.     

Insight into STM image contrast of n-tetradecane and n-hexadecane molecules on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite

Two-dimensional ordered patterns of n-tetradecane (n-C₁₄H₃₀) and n-hexadecane (n-C₁₆H₃₄) molecules at liquid/graphite interface have been directly imaged using scanning tunneling microscope (STM) under ambient conditions. STM images reveal that the two different kinds of molecules self-organize into ordered lamellar structures in which alkane chains of the molecules extend along one of three equivalent lattice axes of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) basal plane. For n-C₁₄H₃₀ molecules, the molecular axes are observed to tilt by 60° with respect to inter-lamellar trough lines and the carbon backbones of the alkane chains are perpendicular to the HOPG basal plane in an all-trans conformation. However, for n-C₁₆H₃₄ molecules, the molecular axes are perpendicular to lamellar borders (90°) and the planes of the all-trans carbon skeletons are parallel to the graphite basal plane. The results clearly indicate that outmost hydrogen atoms of the alkane chains dominate atom-scaled features of the STM images. That is, in the case of long-chain alkane molecules, topographic effects dominantly determine STM image contrast of the methylene regions of the alkane chains that are adsorbed on HOPG.     

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.

Photovoltaic characterization of WSe2 with the scanning tunneling microscope

In the present study we use the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) as an instrument to investigate the photovoltaic properties of semiconducting materials. The surfaces of the layered semiconductor WSe₂ were optically illuminated during the tunneling process. The resulting photo-induced tunneling current (PITC) was measured as a function of the wavelength. Microscopic information on the energy dependent generation and recombination of the photo-electrons in the vicinity of the tunneling tip was obtained by this method without the necessity of covering the surface with a conducting electrode. The analysis of the wavelength dependence of the PITC points at the existence of excitonic excitations. Compared to the spectral response of conventional photosensitive heterodiodes our PITC spectra exhibit a more structured response and an increase of the signal in the UV region. Finally, PITC studies on differently treated WSe₂ surfaces show an improved photoactivity for WSe₂ crystals treated with NaI/I₂ solutions.

The Atomic Tunneling Current in Two—Species Bose—Einstein Condensates

It is shown that the atomic tunneling current and the Shapiro-like steps strongly depend on the initial number of atoms in each condensate and the initial phase difference between the two condensates which are initially in even(odd) coherent states.The nonlinearity of interatomic interactions in the two condensates may lead to the atomic tunneling current and Shapiro-like step between the two condensates.It is found that the interatomic nonlinear interactions can induce the atomic tunneling current and Shapiro-like step between two condensates even though there does not exist the interspecies Josephson-like tunneling coupling.The static atomic tunneling current flows in positive or negative direction,which depends on the phase difference of the two-species condensates.
