Nanometer Resolution Photon STM and Single Atom Manipulation

  • Chapter
Near Field Optics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 242))

Abstract

A photon STM was constructed by using a sharpened optical fiber with a radius of curvature of about 1 nm. Nanometer-resolution was achieved to measure biological and other kinds of samples with sub-micron structures. We also proposed a new method to trap a single neutral atom in the evanescent field localized near the fiber probe top.
