Author(s): Erik Zupanič (Author), Albert Prodan (Supervisor), Miha Škarabot (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2010

Type: Doctoral dissertation

The theory behind scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy is presented and the basic manipulation techniques are described. Construction details of a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope for single atom manipulation experiments are given. Single crystal copper (111) and (211) surfaces are studied. Single atom extraction, followed by lateral manipulation procedures is …
