Abstract

We describe the design and implementation of modifications to an ambient STM with a slip–stick approach mechanism to create a system capable of ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) and spectroscopy (BEES). These modifications require building a custom sample holder which operates as a high gain transimpedance preamplifier. Results of microscopy and spectroscopy using a Au/n-GaAs Schottky device demonstrate the effectiveness of our design.
