What Does STS Stand For?
STS stands for Surface Tunnelling Spectroscopy
Surface Tunnelling Spectroscopy (STS) is an analytical technique used to investigate the electronic properties of surfaces at the atomic level. By employing tunneling currents generated between a sharp probe and a conductive surface, STS enables the precise measurement of local density of states, allowing researchers to explore material characteristics, electronic behavior, and surface phenomena. This technique is particularly valuable in the fields of nanotechnology, materials science, and condensed matter physics, where understanding surface interactions is crucial for developing advanced materials and devices.
