What Does TCM Stand For?

TCM stands for Tunneling Current Microscopy

TCM, or Tunneling Current Microscopy, is a high-resolution imaging technique used to study the surface properties of conductive materials at the atomic scale. By measuring the tunneling current that occurs when a sharp conductive tip is brought extremely close to a sample surface, TCM provides detailed information about electronic structure, surface morphology, and local chemical properties. This technique is instrumental in various fields, including materials science, nanotechnology, and semiconductor research, facilitating advancements in nanoelectronics and surface characterization.
