Research on Cryogenic Vacuum Tunneling.

Abstract

Tunneling microscopy has been investigated as a new tool for studying surfaces over a wide range of temperatures. It proved feasible to use tunneling to measure the super-conducting energy gap in a high temperature superconductor. The first time one can monitor the variations in this gap as a function of the spatial position on the surface. Keywords: Tunneling microscopy; Grain structure; Conducting tip; Tunneling spectroscopy; Spatial variations; Copper Alloy; Titanium Alloy.
