摘要
We present atomically resolved images of nickel oxide (001) obtained with low temperature non-contact atomic force microscopy. Using iron coated silicon cantilevers, it is possible to distinguish defects with a vertical resolution of less than 10 pm and to obtain atomic resolution across step edges on the upper and lower terrace within 1 nm of the edge. The noise level in these images could be reduced to approximate to 1.5 pm.
