Kurze Beschreibung des Gerätes (maximal 5000 Zeichen):
The Picoscope is a powerful combined scanning tunnelling and scanning force microscope. It was acquired by RWTH Aachen University as part of the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA) and co-financed by the German Research Foundation. At temperatures of 300 mK and magnetic fields of up to 9 T, it achieves spatial resolution in the pm range (10⁻¹² m) and can therefore resolve atomic structures. It can also detect electrical currents and atomic forces smaller than pA or pN, hence the name ‘Picoscope’. The Picoscope can be used to determine, manipulate and address fundamental structural, electronic and mechanics properties of nanostructures. In particular, this instrument can be used to test novel, quantum-mechanical phase-coherent addressing methods by coupling microwaves into the tunnel contact. The atomic spin states and correlations can also be measured directly via tunnel spectroscopy.
