STM's
Built in my Group at IBM
|
| Thanks
to Reto Schlittler with whom I've been involved in these devleopments.
The pocket sized STM was first developed by Christoph Gerber in the
80's it changed the way STM's looked. The first STM systems were difficult
to operate. Today it's pretty easy and they are tools rather than
research area in their own right. |

8: My first encounter with an STM 1983: In a group fromed by George
Bednorz, Dieter Pohl, Daniel Wittmer and myself, the STM seen here
was based on the origional Binnig and Rohrer design. It was to be
used for technology research. It was too early for such applications
then. George left for working with powders with Karl Alex Muller
which led to other great things at the IBM Zurich Laboratory.

| I
want to collect images of STM and AFM systems. Please send me your
images to me and I will try to set up a Gallery of Historical machines.
