摘要：

The tunneling probability at the solid/liquid interface has been probed in real space at Au(1 1 1) surfaces using high resolution in situ distance tunneling spectroscopy (DTS). The exponential decay of the tunneling current with the gap width is modulated with oscillations of a period of 0.35 nm. This period coincides with the theoretically predicted spacing of the interfacial water layers at the charged solid/liquid interface. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
