Abstract

In order to overcome one of the drawbacks in scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM), i.e., a low spatial resolution caused by a rather poor sample-probe distance control, we are designing a hybrid system of SNOM with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) by introducing a metal-coated optical fiber tip with an apex of a nanometer-scale aperture. We present the recent developments of our homemade hybrid SNOM/STM system.
