摘要
A first-principles calculation of the STM images of graphite is performed for three different shapes of a tungsten tip. In the calculation the tip is approximated by a small cluster. One of the tips, with more than one atom at the top, produces an abnormal image, while the others, with only one atom at the top, produce normal trigonal images. The abnormal image is caused by current interference through the multi peaks of the squared amplitude of the tunnel-active orbital at the tip. © 1990.
