Scanning tunneling potentiometry (STP) enables us to image the topography and electrochemical potential distributions simultaneously at an atomic-scale spatial resolution and micro-volt-level potential sensitivity on the surface under a lateral current flowing parallel to the sample surface.
We have developed a low-temperature (LT) STP that can function in LT, where quantum phenomena are expected to emerge in the surface electrical conductivity. We successfully performed STP measurements on a ~1 monolayer Pb reconstructed structure formed on a Si(111) substrate at LT.
