Scanning Tunneling Microscopy: Metal Surfaces, Adsorption and Surface Reactions

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 184))

Abstract

The role and application of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for the investigation of clean and adsorbate covered metal surfaces are discussed. STM studies on the periodic structure and structural defects on these surfaces are reviewed. Experimental results related to atomic resolution imaging of close-packed metal surfaces are presented. The contribution of electronic effects to STM imaging of adsorbates is discussed, electronic modifications of the surrounding metal substrate atoms illustrate the effect of the chemical bond between adsorbate and substrate atoms. Time resolved observations of local adsorbate and substrate structures are shown to gain detailed information on various surface processes, in particular they allow direct access to mechanistic details of surface reactions.
