A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is used to study individual Ag doping centers in a monolayer of C60 molecules supported on a thin Al2O3 film grown on the NiAl(110) surface. Vibronic states of the doping centers are observed with differential conductance (dIdV) spectroscopy. The double-barrier nature of the junction results in bipolar transport: same states participate in charge transport at both bias voltage polarities. Identification of the dIdV features corresponding to bipolar conduction enables a new mode of vibrational spectroscopy with STM.
扫描隧道显微镜(STM)用于研究在NiAl(110)表面生长的薄Al2O3膜上支撑的单层C60分子中的单个银掺杂中心。通过微分电导(dIdV)光谱观察掺杂中心的振动电子态。结的双势垒性质导致双极输运:相同的状态在两个偏置电压极性下都参与电荷输运。识别与双极传导对应的dIdV特征实现了一种利用STM的新型振动光谱模式。
