STM image showing Au(111) surface with the herringbone reconstruction visible across multiple terraces. Sample temperature: 15 K Tip bias voltage: 1.0 V Tunneling current: 500 pA Data collected and analyzed by Seth Shields (Ohio State, NeXUS)
STM image showing the hexagonal lattice of HOPG (highly oriented pyrolytic graphite). Sample temperature: 14 K Tip bias voltage: 1.5 V Tunneling current: 250 pA Data collected and analyzed by Seth Shields (Ohio State, NeXUS)
STM image of Si(100) surface showing the (2×1) reconstruction. Atomic scale point defects are visible. Sample temperature: 14 K Tip bias voltage: −2.0 V Tunneling current: 250 pA Data collected and analyzed by Seth Shields (Ohio State, NeXUS)
STM image of adsorbed CO on Cu(111). The ripples in the image are standing waves in the Cu(111) surface state due to constructive interference from scattering off of the CO molecule and the Cu step edge. Sample temperature: 13.5 K Tip bias voltage: 50 mV Tunneling current: 1 nA Data collected and analyzed by Seth Shields (Ohio State, NeXUS)
