Abstract
We analyze the efficiency of a vibration isolation system (VIS) for a scanning tunneling microscope as a function of the different parameters involved. The VIS consists of a stack of several metallic plates, separated by rubber elements with known properties. We show three-dimensional graphs obtained for different values of parameters such as rigidity (spring) constant (K), damping constant (C), mass (M), and the number of stages (n). Analyzing the K dependence of the position of the main peaks, we find a parabolic behavior when the damping constant is small, with a slight deviation for larger values.
