Notice Information

Notice Title

Control Electronics for Scanning Tunnelling Microscopes

Notice Description

The requirement is for two sets of control electronics and software for low temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy. The electronics will be used to control existing low temperature scanning tunnelling microscopes, which are installed in the St Andrews Ultra-low vibration labs. The primary use of these instruments is for spectroscopic imaging STM studies of strongly correlated electron materials and in particular spin-polarized STM. The software and control electronics should therefore provide all necessary options to undertake tunnelling spectroscopy measurements, acquire spectroscopic maps, and condition the tip for spin-polarized STM.
