- In 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_forwardIf 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?
