Tungsten tips obtained through electrochemical etching have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, scanning Auger microscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy. While such tips resulted to be very sharp, a thick oxide layer (~10 nm) is present at the apex. High-vacuum annealing at 1800 K removes most of such oxide.

Abstract
Tungsten tips obtained through electrochemical etching have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, scanning Auger microscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy. While such tips resulted to be very sharp, a thick oxide layer (~10 nm) is present at the apex. High-vacuum annealing at 1800 K removes most of such oxide.File in questo prodotto:
