Abstract

A design is presented for a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) capable of operation over a temperature range of approximately 80–350 K in ultrahigh vacuum. An integral inchworm-like sample translation device avoids problems with unreliability and lock-up by using clamping elements which have an unusually large range of motion. The entire STM, including the sample and the tip, are held isothermal. Temperature drift is less than 0.1 Å/min. A set temperature may be maintained, within 2°, for over 10 h. Operation of the instrument is demonstrated with an image of the Si(001) surface recorded at 120 K.
