- If STM is to detect surface features with local heights of about 0.0200 nm, what percent change in tunneling-electron current must the STM electronics be able to detect? Assume that the tunneling-electron current has characteristics given in the preceding problem.arrow_forwardIn STM, an elevation of the tip above the surface being scanned can be determined with a great precision, because the tunneling-electron current between surface atoms and the atoms of the tip is extremely sensitive to the variation of the separation gap between them from point to point along the surface. Assuming that the tunneling-electron current is in direct proportion to the tunneling probability and that the tunneling probability is to a gotxi approximation expressed by the exponential function e2L with =10.0/nm , determine the ratio of the tunneling current when the tip is 0.500 nm above the surface to the current when the tip is 0.515 nm above the surface.arrow_forwardConsider scattering with electrons of 54 eV on a crystal with planes separated by 0.22 nm.

- Could someone explain to me in detail why bringing a crystal substance to absolute zero isn't possible? I know it's not because of quantum mechanics and uncertainty like some people say, because particals at their lowest zero-point will have a temperature of exactly 0 K, even though they're still experiencing motion. From what I've gathered, the energy or time required to pull it off is infinite, but I can't find any equations or clear explanations as to why or how that is. And I also don't know if there's any other reasons beyond that. If you could give me a thourough a breakdown for how absolute zero is impossible as you possibly could, I'd greatly appreciate it. Take as much extra time as you need. As long as it's detailed and correct I'm happy. Though ideally I would before it come in before the end of the day.arrow_forwardThe potential wave analysis of scattering one has to consider waves with L=0,1,2,3 for a given energy for spherically symmetric potentials having range ro,up to what value of L should one considerarrow_forwardShow that the uncertainty in the momentum of a ground-state harmonic oscillator is (where h is h-bar, m is the mass, and k is the spring constant).arrow_forward
