The 29 presentations from the April 1989 Institute are organized within eight sections covering methods, theory, applications of STM at solid state surfaces, liquid-solid interface, applications of STM at organic and biological materials, electron and ion point sources, force microscopy, and optical

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Basic Concepts and Applications of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, Erice, Italy, April 17-29, 1989

Nanoscale Science and Technology summarizes six years of active research sponsored by NATO with the participation of the leading experts.
The book provides an interdisciplinary view of several aspects of physics at the atomic scale. It contains an overview of the latest findings on the transport of electrons in nanowires and nanoconstrictions, the role of forces in probe microscopy, the control of structures and properties in the nanometer range, aspects of magnetization in nanometric structures, and local probes for nondestructive measurement as provided by light and metal...
