Download or read book Towards magnetic resonance in scanning tunneling microscopy using heterodyne detection written by Peter, Moritz and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work introduces a new concept for magnetic resonance measurements in the GHz regime inside a scanning tunneling microscope. It is based on heterodyne detection in a spin-polarized tunneling barrier. The experimental requirements, including a new method to suppress transmission effects, are explained. Measurements on three model systems which were studied to validate the new technique are presented and compared to simulations.
