What Does PASTM Stand For?

PASTM stands for Photon Assisted Scanning Tunnel Microscopy

PASTM, or Photon Assisted Scanning Tunnel Microscopy, is an advanced imaging technique that combines traditional scanning tunneling microscopy with photon interactions to enhance spatial resolution and electronic characterization of surfaces at the nanoscale. By utilizing photon excitation, PASTM enables the investigation of electronic properties and dynamics of materials, allowing for detailed analysis of nanostructures and facilitating breakthroughs in material science, nanotechnology, and quantum computing research.
