Orbital Imaging Electron orbital resolution in scanning tunneling microscopy

Coordinator: INSTITUTE OF SOLID STATE PHYSICS RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES (RU)

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) has become one of the basic techniques for the analysis of surface reconstructions, overlayer growth mechanisms, surface dynamics and chemistry at the atomic scale. STM is used in physics, chemistry and biology for investigation of organic and inorganic nanoobjects. However, the mechanisms of STM image formation are still not completely understood. The proposed project will be focused mainly on two unresolved issues. The first research focus is related to fabrication of functionalized STM probes with well defined electronic (orbital) structure. To control t…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €15k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 1 year from 2014-07-01 to 2015-06-30.
