scanning tunneling microscope

基本解釋

He also said his team used for production of metal only the needs of the scanning tunneling microscope images.
他還說他的小組選用金屬只是出于制作掃描隧道顯微鏡圖片的需要。
Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) work by the voltage added to the microscope probe tip and the ends of the scanned object and then detect current changes.
掃描隧道顯微鏡（STM）的工作方式是把電壓加到顯微鏡探頭尖端與被掃描物體這兩端，然后檢測電流變化。
To make the breakthrough, a team of physicists at IBM Research Zurich in Switzerland and the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom used a device called a scanning tunneling microscope (STM).
為了取得突破，一組物理學(xué)家們在瑞士的蘇黎世的IBM實(shí)驗(yàn)室和英國的利物浦大學(xué)使用了一個名為掃描隧道顯微鏡（STM）的裝置。

The transistor itself is composed of a single phosphorous-31 isotope, which has been precisely placed on a base of silicon using a Scanning Tunneling Microscope in an ultra-high vacuum chamber.

Nanometer-size materials occur all around us in nature, but it was only 20 years ago, thanks to IBM's introduction of the scanning tunneling microscope, that scientists began to observe and manipulate materials at the atomic level.
