Description of the PhD projectIn nanophysics great advances have been made in using scanning probe microscopy to image and tune surface phenomena with ultimate resolution. Very recently, it is suggested that these tools are able to ‘look below the surface’ by exploiting anisotropically propagating electrons. Inspired by these intriguing first observations, a novel imaging and manipulation methodMohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04037045927132514189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249427863503596259.post-16720062741108294182011-02-28T01:28:00.000+02:002011-02-28T01:28:09.011+02:00Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Reader in Electrical Power & Energy Engineering ( University of Bath - UK)
