Survey of Applications of Tunneling Spectroscopy

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 4))

Abstract

Tunneling spectroscopy has unique capabilities for the vibrational spectroscopy of thin organic films. After an examination of its spectral range, sensitivity, resolution, and selection rules, and a comparison of it with other techniques for vibrational spectroscopy, I will discuss six areas of application: (1) surface chemistry, (2) identification of biochemicals, (3) trace substance detection, (4) adhesion, (5) radiation damage, and (6) lubrication.
