Figure 7.1 STM working principle. (a) Schematics of a typical STM configuration. A metal tip mounted on piezo positioners (
x
,
y
, and
z
direction) is scanned over a conductive surface. The displacement (Δ
z
) of the tip is controlled by a feedback loop while keeping the tunneling current constant. An STM image is constructed by raster scanning over the surface. Note that both bias polarities can be used, resulting in an electric current flow toward the surface or toward the tip. (b) Schematics of a simple metal (tip)–vacuum–metal (surface) junction. (c) Hybridization of molecular orbitals upon adsorption on a surface.

(inel)) in addition to the elastic channel (denoted as e

(el)) when the electron energy

is larger than a specific vibration energy (
ℏ

being the vibrational quantum number) in the molecule.
