Gold ([Xe] 4f 14 5d 10 6s 1) is one of the most ancient themes of investigation in science and
arts, and its renaissance now leads to an exponentially increasing number of publications …

The fascinating particle size dependence to the physical, photophysical, and chemical
properties of gold has motivated thousands of studies focused on exploring the ability of …

The scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) was invented by Binnig and Rohrer and
received a Nobel Prize of Physics in 1986. Together with the atomic force microscope (AFM) …

The origin of the herringbone reconstruction on Au (111) surface has never been explained
properly at the atomic level because the large periodic length (~ 30 nm) does not allow ab …

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and its Application presents a unified view of the rapidly
growing field of STM, and its many derivatives. A thorough discussion of the various …

The structure and dynamics of the interfacial layers between the extremely pure air-and
water-stable ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium tris (pentafluoroethyl) …

The resistance of wires consisting of 1–3 atoms connecting two semi-infinite metallic
electrodes is calculated for both small and large bias. The wires discussed consist of Al …

The close-packed (111) surface of gold is well known to show a 22× 3 reconstruction on
single nm lengths with a long-range herringbone pattern on scales of a few hundred nm …

In this overview paper we present a combined in situ STM, AFM and EIS study on the
structure and dynamics of the interfacial layers between Au (111) and two extremely pure …

Soon after the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) 1 and the scanning or
atomic force microscope (SFM/AFM), 2 researchers found that subsequent images of an …
