摘要
We measured the barrier height (BH) a UHV scanning tunneling microscope on Au(111) surfaces with Au, Pt, and carbon nanotube tips. The 22 x root 3 reconstruction was observed with all the tips, and the current-voltage relation reflected the density of states of the tips. The BH measured on the reconstructed Au(111) surface using a modulation method showed a bias-polarity dependence as 30%, at low currents (<100 pA) irrespective of the tip material, while on unreconstructed Au surfaces, BH values were independent of the bias polarity, suggesting a dipole layer originating from the reconstructed Au(111) surface.
