摘要
A technique for measuring the conductance of a small number of particles during transmission electron microcopy (TEM) observation is demonstrated. By using a custom-designed TEM holder, an An tip was brought into contact with Fe nanodots contained in a SrF2 film deposited on another An tip. The conductance shows Coulomb-blockade-like characteristics even at room temperature.
