Abstract:
The author presents an introduction to the applications of scanning tunnelling microscopy. He shows that the tip of a STM is not only capable of recording an image. It can also be used to act mechanically, i.e., it can be used as a device for micromanipulation on an extremely small scale. (15 References).
