Abstract

Scanning tunneling microscopy topographic images of the graphite(0001) surface were recorded and two electronically different carbon atoms distinctly resolved by a line scan procedure. The height variation of about 0.8 Å predicted theoretically was found to lie in the range 0.2-0.8 Å experimentally. To obtain information about the structure of surface state bands, a differential conductivity spectrum was obtained by recording the I-V characteristics between -0.5 and 0.5 V by a fast scan method, keeping the feedback loop disconnected. The spectrum revealed high local density of states at 0.18 V, 0.29 V and 0.42 V.
