Abstract
From the calculation of the Xe potential energy on the Cu(110) surface, on a copper tip apex and of the constant current images of this Xe on Cu(110), atomic structures of the tip apex in the “off” and “on” state (during a scan) and of the “tip apex Xe surface” tunnel junction (before scanning) are proposed.
