Abstract
All experiments in the thesis at hand were performed in a two chamber UHV system with a base pressure in the low 10-10 mbar regime. The system is divided in two main chambers: the STM chamber and the preparation chamber. Within the STM chamber the scanning tunneling microscope (RHK UHV VT RTM 300) is housed for the actual measurements. In the other chamber various sample preparation, characterization and manipulation tools are situated. The two chambers are linked by a VAT gate valve (CF150) which is usually only opened for transferring the sample. The sample transfer between the chambers is realized by a linear transfer rod and wobble sticks. Furthermore a fast entry lock is attached to the STM chamber enabling a quick sample exchange.
