We report a quantitative low-temperature Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy (STS)study on the Ag(111) surface state over an unprecedented range of currents (50 pA to 6 $\mu$A)through which we can tune the electric field in the tunnel junction…
The light emission rate from a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) scanning a noble metal surface is calculated taking retardation effects into account. As in our previous, non-retarded theory [Johansson, Monreal, and Apell, Phys. Rev. B…
We present a low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy study of the Au(111) and of the Cu(111) surface states showing that their binding energy increases when the tip is approached towards the surface. This result, supported by a…
