Abstract
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) capable of measuring the local density of states dI/dV=G(V,x,y) correlated with the topography z(x,y) is implemented on a PC/AT computer system. An algorithm using dimensional decoupling and recursive linking is incorporated in a compact C-language code to achieve flexible and sophisticated STS control. Data acquisition and processing methods which provide the local density of states G(V,x,y,s) at different tip heights s in registry with z(x,y) are described. Examples of novel low-temperature experiments are given to show the capabilities of this implementation of STS.
