摘要
The current-voltage characteristic has been measured for a probe/Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film/metal structure with the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The rapid increase of current and substantial increase in conductance have been found when a critical positive voltage was applied to the probe. A bright spot in the STM image has been observed at the position where the increase in the conductance occurred. The changes in the STM images are attributed to the change in the conductance of LB films themselves rather than the surface topography, and may be associated with the switching phenomena in LB films.
