Low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscope for ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) and spectroscopy.

Summary

Salient features are: 1) operation on a liquid-helium storage dewar to below 6 K; 2) a lateral positioning range of 5 mm at low temperature; and 3) lateral drift rate less than 0.2 nm/h at the lowest temperatures. For BEEM spectroscopy, the microscope's high positional stability allows extended signal-averaging at a single location on the sample.
